About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of clinical experience. Rachel brings long experience from mental health settings and supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. They aim to create a warm, respectful space so someone can talk honestly about what feels hard right now.
Rachel uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions can focus on what is happening today or look at earlier life events that keep repeating in current relationships.
How Rachel works
The emphasis is on building a trusting connection and helping people make sense of patterns that cause pain or get in the way of change. In practical terms Rachel helps with stress, panic, low self-esteem, grief and relationship and intimacy-related issues.
They also work with concerns such as caregiving strain, chronic health problems, gender dysphoria, sexuality, and the impact of prejudice and discrimination. Rachel supports people exploring career change, life purpose and midlife shifts. Clients can expect a compassionate, non-judgemental style and encouragement to reflect on personal meaning.
Motivational methods are used where someone wants to shift habits or tackle addictions. Psychodynamic ideas help illuminate past influences; client-centred work keeps the person and their priorities central. If someone decides to begin, Rachel helps set clear goals and matches technique to each person’s pace and preferences.
Therapy is collaborative and tailored, aimed at building coping skills and clearer choices for moving forward.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Rachel often draws on client-centred work which places the person’s priorities at the centre of each session. This approach emphasises listening, empathy and helping people decide their next steps, and it works well for self-esteem, relationship and life-purpose questions.Motivational interviewing is another practical strand Rachel uses when someone wants to change behaviour. It focuses on strengthening personal motivation and planning small, achievable steps for issues like addictions or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss what feels most useful, try out different ways of working, and adapt methods to match the person’s goals and pace in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place. Video calls allow visual connection and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking.
These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving and life commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship and progress.
