About Rachel
Rachel Harris is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She has three years of experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, addictions, low self-esteem and big life changes. Rachel is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her professional credential.
Her work focuses on practical, everyday steps that make life more manageable. Sessions are about spotting patterns, learning new ways to cope and making small changes that add up.
How Rachel works
She pays particular attention to issues linked to relationships - such as abandonment, attachment and communication problems - and the emotional fallout from separation or infidelity. Rachel also supports people struggling with family problems, caregiver stress and the strain of workplace or money worries.
She helps those dealing with feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame or isolation, and offers guidance around ADHD-related challenges and young adult issues. Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk and try things that feel doable.
Rachel describes her approach as collaborative and attuned, meeting each person where they are. Sessions are offered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. The pathway to starting is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches for online counselling
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she draws on helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practise new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of work suits worries, stress and depression by offering clear steps to try between sessions.Another approach used emphasises understanding attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people make sense of feelings around abandonment, trust and communication, and to try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt techniques as therapy progresses to match each person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text allow brief, written contact that can fit around work or caring commitments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
