About Rachel
Rachel Florence is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential. Rachel offers EMDR alongside talking therapy and aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Rachel focuses on healing from trauma and related difficulties, including PTSD and complex PTSD. She also helps people who struggle with relationships, grief, intimacy, anxiety, depression, addiction and sleep problems.
How Rachel works
Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as anger, low self-esteem, career stress and compassion fatigue. Her style is flexible and person-centred. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most and building a plan together.
She uses talking therapy to help people understand patterns, and EMDR where past distress needs a different way of processing. Rachel pays attention to attachment and to how early relationships shape current reactions. She helps people notice where old responses are still driving behaviour and supports new ways of relating.
Practical steps and simple exercises are offered between sessions when useful. People can expect a calm pace and straightforward language in sessions. Rachel aims to make therapy understandable and manageable for someone juggling daily pressures.
Her approach emphasises collaboration and steady progress over time.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online therapeutic work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people understand patterns in closeness and distance, and supports new ways of relating to others.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in the moment and how they shape interaction. It is useful for people who want to understand emotional responses and move towards more satisfying connections.
EMDR combines focused attention on distressing memories with guided processing to reduce the intensity of those memories. It is often chosen when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support or when writing feels easier than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy fit around work, family and daily life.
