How Rachael’s approaches fit online therapy
Rachael uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can set their own goals; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and daily habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Rachael will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as work progresses, combining talking, practical tasks and brief mindfulness practices where useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people practise behavioural tasks and mindfulness between appointments and bring that work into the next session for discussion.
