About Rachel
Rachel Andrews offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She is a counsellor with a BACP registration and seven years of professional experience. Rachel focuses on straightforward, steady help so people can make changes they feel good about.
She is experienced supporting people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and parenting pressures. She also addresses sleeping and eating concerns, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and career or self-esteem struggles.
How Rachel works
Rachel aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and work through what matters most. In sessions she keeps language simple and concrete. She listens first, then helps people set practical goals.
Techniques are explained in clear terms so clients can use them between appointments. Rachel has particular experience with adolescents and young adults and adapts her approach to suit different ages and life stages. She encourages steps that feel achievable rather than overwhelming, and checks in on progress as therapy continues.
People meet Rachel for help with relationship and family tensions, recovery from trauma, or to manage anxiety and depression. She offers a steady presence while helping clients learn tools to cope, make decisions and rebuild confidence.

How Rachel uses talking therapy online
Rachel combines a client-centred way of working with practical cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-Centred Therapy starts from listening closely to each person's experience and responding with empathy, helping people feel understood and guiding the priorities for therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaching skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Rachel works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will talk through goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as progress is made. The aim is to use approaches that feel useful and manageable for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to work around school, work or other commitments and to keep therapy consistent even with a busy schedule.
