About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She works with common daily struggles such as sleep, eating, parenting and work pressure, and also addresses longer‑term concerns like trauma, addiction and mood fluctuations. Rachel is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she accepts international clients in English.

Rachel focuses on how thoughts and everyday habits shape feelings and choices. She uses straightforward techniques to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build coping skills that fit their life. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs rather than one fixed method.

Her background includes many years in mental health services and work with complex cases and relationship difficulties. She has completed additional training in couples work for depression, and in approaches related to dialectical behaviour therapy and cognitive behaviour analysis. Rachel has experience delivering remote and telephone therapy and is comfortable working with people at a distance.

In a session she listens first, then helps set clear goals together. Therapy may include developing new daily routines, practising different ways of responding to stress, and experimenting with small behaviour changes. The focus is on useful steps that can be kept up outside sessions.

Rachel aims to create a calm, practical space where people feel able to talk through what matters to them and try ways of coping that fit their daily life.

How Rachel uses talking therapies online

Rachel works with approaches that pay attention to thoughts, emotions and how people relate to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and intimacy, and can help with relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss goals and try methods that suit a person's needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Her biography notes she has delivered telephone and virtual therapy. Please confirm the precise session options when booking. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow for shorter check‑in times when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care while they try new ways of coping in everyday settings.
