About Rachel
Rachel Button helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or issues with eating and self-worth. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the first session. Rachel works to understand what is causing distress and to find practical steps that fit each person’s life.
Rachel is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
How Rachel works
Her own experiences with depression, anxiety and disordered eating shaped her decision to train and to offer support to others. In sessions she focuses on uncovering the roots of a problem and building useful coping skills. Rachel helps people talk through difficult memories, manage overwhelming feelings and improve how they relate to themselves and others.
Work often includes addressing body image, attachment concerns and difficulties with guilt or shame. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, long-term illness or the strain of caregiving, and those navigating life changes such as separation or midlife transitions. Practical coping strategies are combined with time to reflect and make sense of experiences.
Rachel offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. She works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practise new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This is useful for worries, low mood and social anxiety. Another approach centres on processing painful memories and the emotional impact of past events. It supports people who have experienced trauma, abuse or difficult relationships by creating space to make sense of those experiences.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works in practice.
Online therapy with Rachel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make access easier. Video sessions suit deeper conversations, phone calls can work when bandwidth is low, and text or chat can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional clarity.
