Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an empathetic, non-directive environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers unconditional positive regard - this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and navigating major life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with values-based action, helping people reduce avoidance and build a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve current connections and support healing from attachment wounds and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the most helpful approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that better fits their schedule or comfort level. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent support from home, during life transitions, or when in-person sessions are not possible, while maintaining the collaborative therapeutic relationship that underpins effective work.
