About Rachel
Rachel Button is a counsellor who focuses on anxiety, stress and related concerns. She aims to make the search for a therapist less overwhelming. Rachel listens without judgement and helps people name what feels wrong so they can take small, manageable steps forward.
She draws on her own experience of anxiety, depression and disordered eating to inform a compassionate approach. That personal background led her into counselling work and into four years of professional practice.
Background and approach
She uses that experience to help people untangle symptoms from their everyday lives and priorities. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Rachel helps people explore what underlies their worries and offers tools they can try between meetings.
Conversations include looking at thoughts and behaviours, relationships, and routines that drain energy or increase stress. She works with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including low mood, self-esteem, body image and issues tied to trauma or loss. Rachel also supports people dealing with chronic pain or long-term illness, caregiver stress and life transitions.
Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. People in the United Kingdom can work with her in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.
Approaches for anxiety and everyday struggles
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce anxiety and cope with stress. One common approach focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thought patterns so worries feel less overwhelming; this helps with health anxiety, social phobia and general low mood. Another approach attends to patterns in relationships and attachment, looking at how past hurts shape current responses and helping people build steadier ways of relating.Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options in early sessions and decide together which techniques match the person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans are adjusted as needed, based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps when someone wants ongoing, paced support between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
