About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship issues. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, ADHD, parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life transitions. Rachel also supports people facing identity and intimacy questions, compassion fatigue, and complex emotional patterns related to attachment and trauma.

She uses practical talking methods that focus on what feels most useful in the moment. Clients can expect clear, everyday language and a steady approach that aims to make difficult feelings easier to understand. Rachel draws on a mix of therapies to match the person rather than forcing a single method.

Her clinical background includes experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, and she has trained in several approaches used for complex needs and relationship work. Rachel holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as her professional credential. Sessions are offered in English and she sees international clients as well.

Rachel often combines strategies from cognitive and behavioural methods with skills for emotional regulation and values-based work. She pays attention to how attachment and early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people spot repeating cycles and find new ways to manage stress and conflicts.

To begin, clients use the site process to match with a therapist, complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs. Rachel aims to help people make steady, practical progress while respecting their pace and priorities.

How Rachel's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns with practical exercises and clear steps, often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, and can be helpful for intimacy, grief and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors steps and exercises so they make sense for the client’s daily life and commitments rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

The therapist has experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, which can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life. Online work can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements meet your practical needs.
