About Rachael
Rachael Foote is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of mental health experience. She works with people facing depression, stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma, and supports those managing eating issues, grief and major life changes. She also offers help around relationship concerns, self-esteem and career uncertainty.
Rachael uses a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens to each person's story and builds on their existing strengths. Conversations aim to make sense of problems, set clear goals and try practical ways to change unhelpful patterns.
Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her balance exploring feelings with testing new behaviours and short-term goal setting. People can expect a mix of reflective talk and hands-on strategies to manage symptoms and daily challenges.
Rachael has experience across health and community settings, supporting people through illness, bereavement, substance concerns and trauma. She also helps those dealing with body image, chronic pain, ADHD and the strain of caring roles. Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence and complex family problems.
Practical matters such as fees and session arrangements vary by location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment through the service button.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
The therapist uses both Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client lead the conversation, which suits people who need time to make sense of their feelings. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will discuss options and together decide which methods best match a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or medical appointments, and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or phone-only conversations if video is difficult due to bandwidth or camera concerns.
