How Rachel works
That background means she has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, and issues common to young adults. In sessions she focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Conversations aim to identify practical steps and small changes that can make life feel more manageable.
She listens, reflects and helps people discover their own strengths. Rachel uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful and accepting space. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and to build momentum between sessions.
People can expect a straightforward approach. Rachel helps clients break down worries into manageable pieces and practise new ways of coping. The emphasis is on clear actions, steady progress and restoring a sense of choice in everyday life.

How Rachel's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person lead the conversation. It is useful when someone needs a respectful space to talk about feelings, trauma or loss and to feel heard as they work through difficult experiences. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, practical goals and identifying what is already working. It suits people who want clear steps and quick strategies to reduce anxiety or move past a problem.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as people make progress or face new challenges.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and text or chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and daily life while using Rachel's client-centred and solution-focused work in a flexible way.
