Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Rachel draws on approaches that help people understand patterns in relationships and in their own thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses, and it can be useful for issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead - this approach supports self-exploration and can help with self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies that are often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Rachel and the client collaborate to explore which methods fit best with the client's goals, needs and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure it remains relevant and helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs and let people access support from their own environment. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent, accessible care while tailoring sessions to the individual’s circumstances.
