Rachel Wright offers calm, practical support for people under stress or facing big life changes. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, parenting pressures, and difficulties with sleep and eating. Rachel uses plain language and step‑by‑step techniques to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.
She brings 13 years of experience in mental health and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on complex situations, including trauma, attachment difficulties, neurodiversity and long‑term health concerns. Rachel also helps people manage compassion fatigue, career strain and the emotional fallout of adoption, bereavement or caregiving. In sessions she mixes practical tools with a person‑centred stance.
That means she listens closely, then suggests small experiments and skills - for example breathing and grounding, thought‑checking, or emotion regulation strategies - to try between meetings. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, and attachment‑informed ways of looking at relationships.
Rachel has experience delivering therapy remotely and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To start, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and book a session when it suits.
Rachel will work collaboratively to identify goals and a plan that fits the person sitting in front of her.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. It focuses on actions that connect with personal values, which can help when coping with anxiety, depression or life transitions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical strategies to test unhelpful thinking and build new routines, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, eating concerns and low mood.
Attachment‑based work pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions. This approach can be helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and some trauma‑related struggles.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Rachel will talk through goals, try out techniques and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure the methods used match the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Rachel is offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can pick what suits their routine. Video calls are good for face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, chat can be used for quick check‑ins, and messaging supports short, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
