BACP accreditation refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Rachel has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and significant life changes such as career shifts or the end of a relationship. Work also includes supporting issues around sexuality and gender identity, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and difficulties with self-esteem, anger and motivation. Rachel brings a compassionate, encouraging and non-judgmental stance, viewing a strong therapeutic relationship as the essential foundation for exploring the issues that bring someone into therapy.

Attachment and Person-Centred Approaches for Online Support

Rachel often draws on attachment-based work to explore how early and significant relationships shape expectations, emotional responses and patterns in current relationships. This approach helps people understand attachment styles, repair relationship wounds and address difficulties with intimacy, grief or trauma.

Rachel also uses client-centred techniques that prioritise empathy, acceptance and the client’s own pace for change. This non-directive stance supports self-exploration, self-esteem work and adjustments to major life transitions by creating space for the client's own insights to emerge.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and circumstances. Together they consider what feels most helpful and adapt the focus over time to respond to changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work, caregiving or mobility limits, and to connect when distance or life demands make face-to-face meetings difficult. For many people this accessibility helps maintain continuity of care and supports steady progress with registered professionals and therapists.
