Rachael Foote helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. She supports those dealing with grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, ADHD and career worries. Rachael also works with concerns such as relationship and family problems, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Rachael uses a conversational, person-focused style. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on their strengths. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with time spent listening, reflecting and planning manageable steps forward.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on methods that help people understand patterns and try small changes. Cognitive approaches can help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Solution-focused techniques look for what is already working and amplify it.

Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about making a change. Rachael has 13 years of counselling and mental health experience in the United Kingdom. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her background includes supporting people through illness, addiction, trauma and life transitions. People can expect a steady, respectful style that encourages agency and practical progress. Rachael aims to create a space where worries can be talked through and clear options explored.

She supports people as they take steps towards change and therefore helps with both short-term goals and longer-term challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Rachael draws on client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques that work well online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s pace to help them find their own answers. It is useful for building trust and exploring emotional concerns such as grief, shame or low self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test small practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful coping patterns and can include short exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachael will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That means trying things out, reviewing progress and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and messaging is useful for ongoing prompts and reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping continuity over time.
