About Rachael
Rachael Holden is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, and related concerns such as addictions, grief and self-esteem. Rachael also lists a range of other areas she supports, including ADHD, career worries and coping with life changes.
She uses client-centred principles to focus on what matters to each person. Conversations are paced to the individual's needs and aim to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try out new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work when they suit the person.
Rachael tends to emphasise practical coping strategies and clearer routine where that helps. She will work on small, achievable changes to build emotional steadiness and reduce immediate distress. That can include sleep and eating difficulties, anger, communication problems, and intimacy-related worries.
The approach is collaborative: Rachael invites people to pick priorities and review progress regularly. She also offers coaching-style support for practical life transitions like starting a job or managing study-related stress.
Rachael accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online options provided.
How Rachael uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities. The therapist listens and helps people name their goals, then works at a pace that suits them. This approach suits issues like relationship worries, low self-esteem and deciding next steps after major life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Sessions involve practical exercises, experimenting with new responses and tracking progress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing stress at work or study.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. These small skills can be useful alongside talk work for coping with distress and improving focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods to try and adjust them with the client as goals change. That way the plan stays practical and relevant to the person's life.
