She has experience delivering remote sessions by telephone and virtual meeting.
In sessions she listens to what is especially hard right now and helps people build clearer short-term goals. Conversations focus on practical steps and on recognising patterns that keep problems going. She uses a mix of approaches that match the issue and the person’s preferences.
People often come to Rachel when they feel overwhelmed by change after leaving home, starting work or study, or when relationships and identity questions are weighing on them. She can help with coping strategies, problem solving and emotional regulation skills.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy approaches. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change next.
How Rachel uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and the steady frustration of early adult life where choices feel blocked.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties by breaking problems into small, doable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about their priorities and try approaches that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and changes if something is not working.
