About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. Rachel also supports clients with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and career pressures, and offers coaching around life changes and parenting concerns.
She describes an integrative approach that pulls together different methods to match the problem at hand. Sessions focus on tracing how difficulties began and how they show up now. That groundwork helps people understand patterns and find ways to respond differently.
Rachel uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural methods, along with existential thinking. In practice this means she mixes talking, practical exercises and reflection to suit each person. The emphasis is on clear steps you can try between sessions.
She is comfortable addressing specific areas such as abandonment issues, family of origin problems, body image, codependency, commitment and communication difficulties. She also works with concerns linked to blended families, fatherhood issues and caregiver stress.
Sessions are delivered in English and Rachel does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the website button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online work
Rachel commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than being driven by anxiety or avoidance. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns formed early on and how they affect current connections and intimacy.These approaches are explained in simple terms in sessions and tried out together. Rachel treats finding the right method as a collaborative process - she will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the approach as you both learn what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using practical exercises and reflective tasks between sessions so therapy connects with everyday life.
