Rachel Harris is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of experience in mental health work. Rachel aims to build a warm, trusting relationship so people feel understood from the first session.

She focuses on concerns such as relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Rachel also helps with ADHD, coping after separation, workplace pressure and the strain of caregiving. Her approach is practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on finding ways that fit into everyday life. Sessions are set up to be approachable and conversational.

Rachel listens, reflects, and offers tools and strategies that people can try between sessions. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when these are relevant, and she addresses problems like guilt, isolation and financial stress as part of the broader picture.

People who come to her for help with relationship pain, infidelity or communication problems will work on clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries. Those facing trauma or loss can expect a steady, paced process that honours their experience. Rachel aims to support women and young adults with concerns commonly faced at different life stages.

Working with Rachel involves regular sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to Rachel's schedule.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Rachel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One approach she uses helps people understand patterns in their thoughts and feelings, then tries simple behavioural steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method suits worries, low mood and stress-related problems.

Another approach concentrates on relational patterns and attachment issues. It looks at how early experiences shape current reactions and teaches clearer ways to communicate and manage difficult feelings. This can help with relationship stress, abandonment concerns and feeling isolated.

Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. Rachel will listen to your situation, discuss different options and adapt methods to match your goals and preferences. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let you meet face to face when convenient, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and caring commitments while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
