About Rachel
Rachel Kilburn is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience working with adults, adolescents and children. She draws on her own life roles as a mother, partner and daughter to bring practical understanding to sessions. Rachel focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed find steadiness again and reconnect with daily life.
She uses an integrative approach that blends several therapies so sessions suit each person. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, reflecting on past patterns, or setting small practical goals.
Background and approach
Rachel often works creatively, which can help people express emotions that are hard to name. Sessions begin with a conversation to build trust and gather the information needed to plan next steps. Rachel keeps the pace gentle and follows each person’s readiness to talk about difficult experiences.
She aims to create space where people can say what matters most to them. Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, along with trauma and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic attacks and workplace difficulties.
Rachel frames therapy as a shared journey. She helps people relate differently to their past and make new choices for the future. Her style is calm, practical and attuned to each person’s needs.
How Rachel’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s pace and helps them find clarity and self-acceptance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and behaviour, helping people gain insight into repeating patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might be mostly practical CBT tasks for managing panic and anxiety, client-centred listening for emotional support, or some psychodynamic reflection to understand long-standing patterns.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when video is not possible. Live chat and text messaging suit ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to build therapy into busy lives and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
