About Rachel

Rachel Florence is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP credential and has three years of clinical experience. Rachel focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety and other long-standing difficulties.

She offers a blend of talking work and body-focused methods to match each person's needs. Rachel often supports people processing trauma, including childhood wounds and post-traumatic stress. She uses eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing alongside conversational therapy when this seems helpful.

Background and approach

Her style is flexible and person-centred, so sessions are tailored to the individual rather than a fixed formula. In sessions Rachel pays attention to relationships and attachment patterns. She helps people understand how past connections shape current worries, intimacy problems and communication difficulties.

She also works with issues such as grief, anger, low self-esteem and sleep disruption. Rachel aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She will listen, name patterns, and offer exercises to try between sessions.

Many clients find this combination useful when coping with life changes, work stress, or addictive behaviours. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Appointments are available through online formats including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people respond to stress and to each other. In online sessions Rachel helps clients notice patterns in relationships and build different ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve intimacy.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It relies on listening, reflection and pacing the work to the client's needs, which translates well to video or phone sessions where the emphasis is on the conversation and the client's experience.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change the emotional responses that keep them stuck. In remote sessions Rachel guides clients through tracking feelings and trying new emotional responses, which can ease anxiety and improve communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and help decide which fits a client's goals, needs and preferences. The decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These choices make therapy more flexible and easier to maintain alongside daily life.
