About Rachael Hough

Rachael Hough is a compassionate counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and difficulties with self-esteem. With three years of clinical experience, she has worked in roles at two mental health charities where she supported people through a wide range of complex challenges, including PTSD, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, abuse and bereavement.

Rachael follows evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on helping clients make sense of what feels overwhelming. She approaches each person as an individual, recognising that what feels normal for one person may not for another, and she works collaboratively to explore practical options rather than offering prescriptive advice. This collaborative stance aims to empower people to find solutions that fit their lives.

She holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Rachael communicates in English and tailors her support to each client’s needs, drawing on her charity-sector experience to work with complex emotional and psychological concerns in a respectful, humane way.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Rachael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues people bring. One approach focuses on trauma-informed work, helping people process distressing experiences through paced, supportive sessions that aim to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and related symptoms. Another strand of her practice emphasises skills-based coping and problem-solving, teaching practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and stress so daily life becomes more manageable.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic journey. Rachael works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals, needs and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work progresses to ensure a good match.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those she supports. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face connection from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, flexible ways to communicate between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family and other commitments while still working with registered professionals and therapists who can guide the process.
