About Rachel

Rachel Harris is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She draws on three years of professional practice to help people face anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. Rachel also supports people struggling with trauma, depression, addictions and issues around self-esteem and ADHD.

Rachel focuses on building a warm, trusting working relationship. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and approachable. In conversation she helps clients untangle difficult feelings and notice practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her work includes helping people cope with family problems, separation and communication breakdowns. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of infidelity.

Money and financial issues are included among the concerns she addresses, alongside workplace stress and the challenges faced by young adults and women. Rachel frames these topics as part of a wider picture that often links to mood, confidence and relationships.

She follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rachel describes her role as accompanying clients through change, helping them find clearer ways to make decisions and cope with setbacks.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and testing new behaviours. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting; this can ease anxiety and low mood by breaking cycles of worry and avoidance. Another approach concentrates on past relationships and attachment patterns, helping people make sense of how early experiences affect current relationships and self-worth.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Rachel will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and aims. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses, with regular check-ins about what is helping.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It also makes attending from different locations simpler, which can help people maintain continuity during busy periods.
