About Rachael
Rachael Foote is a counsellor with 13 years of experience in mental health work. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. Rachael also helps people affected by trauma, abuse and eating difficulties, and those working through life changes such as a cancer diagnosis.
Rachael believes people know their own story best. She treats each person as the expert in their life and works to draw out their existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, and then helps set realistic goals together.
Conversations aim to be clear and useful so people can try things between sessions. Rachael uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. She adapts the work for issues such as sleep problems, relationship difficulties, low self esteem and coping with grief.
She also supports those facing chronic pain, long term illness or questions about identity and sexuality. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Rachael offers help with practical problem solving, motivation to change, and building skills for day-to-day coping.
Her background across varied settings informs a flexible, person-focused way of working.
How these approaches inform online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps people find their own solutions; this approach can be helpful for low self esteem, grief and identity concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical tasks and simple tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made jointly and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins work well as live chat or text messages. These formats help people fit therapy into busy days, keep continuity during life changes, and access support without travel.
