She listens, helps people spot unhelpful patterns, and coaches them in new ways of coping. She also offers support around self-harm, sexuality, women’s issues and building self-love. Her sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.

How Rachel’s approaches work online

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns so they feel less anxious and overwhelmed. Another focuses on building coping skills and routines that support mood, sleep and daily functioning after life changes or loss.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which method to try first and adapt it over time if needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective journaling between sessions, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family life and different schedules.
