About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She works with individuals facing depression, grief, relationship strains and addictive behaviours. Rachel also supports clients with self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, as well as neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and ADHD.

In sessions she draws on familiar, evidence-based approaches to make sense of difficult moments. Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot thinking patterns that fuel worry.

Background and approach

She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small steps forward. Her background includes work across mental health settings, focusing on complex cases and relationship difficulties. Rachel has delivered therapy by phone and online, so she is comfortable working remotely.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and practical. Rachel listens first, then helps set goals the person can try between meetings.

She offers short exercises, breathing and grounding techniques, and straightforward ways to reframe anxious thoughts. People who choose her often want a calm, steady presence while they build coping skills. Rachel helps people make gradual changes, tackle immediate stressors, and find clearer ways of moving forward.

How Rachel uses different approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and trying practical experiments to reduce worry and low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, distress tolerance and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Rachel will talk through what feels most relevant and try methods that match a person's goals and day-to-day constraints. She encourages feedback so sessions can be adjusted if something isn't helping.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video gives face-to-face connection when that is useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to continue therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
