Background and approach

Clients bring issues such as addictions, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem concerns and career uncertainty. Rachel favours an approachable, non-judgemental style that focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to feel conversational while still working toward practical changes.

She draws on client-centred ideas to prioritise each person’s experience and on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In a session she will listen first, then suggest simple, manageable steps to try between meetings. The work balances emotional support with short exercises people can use day to day.

This helps keep progress clear and realistic. People often come to her when stress becomes hard to manage or when life shifts leave them unsure what to do next. Rachel encourages clients to set small goals and to notice gradual changes over time.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It is about making time for what matters most to the client and helping them shape goals at their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support and a space to be heard.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, then suggest a blend of methods to try. Together they will review what helps and adapt the plan as things change.

Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard to arrange. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to keep momentum between meetings and to send brief updates or reflections. These formats offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.
