Evidence-based techniques for online therapy

Rachel offers evidence-based, skills-focused interventions that teach practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety and disordered eating. These approaches emphasise building tools for emotional regulation, coping and day-to-day problem solving to help reduce distress and increase a sense of control.

She also uses trauma-informed work when addressing experiences of abuse or childhood trauma, helping people process difficult memories and their impact on current wellbeing in a paced, responsive way. For relationship and identity concerns, Rachel draws on attachment-focused exploration to uncover patterns that shape self-esteem, connection and life direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to engage from home or wherever works best for them. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these methods effectively across remote formats, making it possible to receive consistent support while fitting therapy around daily life.
