Rachel Xuereb helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep problems and parenting pressures. Rachel works with people dealing with career setbacks, anger, life changes and LGBT concerns.

Rachel uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and down to earth. She listens first, then helps you notice patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Her methods draw on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, client-centred ways of talking, cognitive behavioural tools and existential thinking. That means conversations can focus on values and action, relationships and early patterns, being heard and understood, changing unhelpful thoughts and finding meaning.

Rachel has seven years of experience in therapeutic work and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings day-to-day insight from a corporate background alongside her counselling practice, which informs how she supports workplace and life stress. People who come to her can expect a straightforward, collaborative approach.

Sessions are paced to each person and shaped around real-life goals. The emphasis is on practical steps you can try between sessions and on building better ways to manage difficult emotions and relationships.

How Rachel's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes by focusing on small steps that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and early life connections to understand current struggles with intimacy and communication. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood, helping people feel safe to talk through difficult feelings and build self-acceptance.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel works together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ideas from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions make this flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face meetings, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need a quick way to reflect between appointments. These options help people access regular support without long commutes and allow sessions to fit around work, caring duties and everyday routines.
