About Rachel
Rachel Blythe offers a straightforward, compassionate approach to talking through difficult feelings. She is a BACP member and listed with NCPS, and has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Rachel aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and understood.
She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people facing LGBT concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also works with codependency, family problems, panic attacks, self-harm, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues.
How Rachel works
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to suit practical life challenges. She talks through coping strategies, emotional regulation, and ways to rebuild confidence.
The aim is to find realistic steps that fit into everyday routines. Conversations are respectful and non-judgemental. Rachel will discuss options and agree a simple plan with each person.
The work is collaborative and paced to how someone prefers to proceed. She offers sessions in English and works with people across the UK. If someone chooses to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as grounding techniques and step-by-step plans to reduce avoidance. This helps when panic attacks or constant worry make daily tasks feel overwhelming.Another approach concentrates on grief, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue by working on emotional processing and self-care routines. That work aims to clarify values, rebuild confidence, and create sustainable day-to-day habits. These methods are adapted to the issue being discussed rather than applied wholesale.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will explore a person’s goals, preferences and current struggles and then agree a plan together. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and support continuity of care when attending in person is difficult.
