How Rachel uses therapy approaches online

Rachel often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and take small steps towards them, even when emotions feel difficult. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and understand how early experiences affect current responses, which can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

The biography states she has experience providing telephone and virtual therapy, so check the current session options before booking to confirm what formats she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep appointments during life transitions. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or quieter, less demanding sessions that do not require video.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
