About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, addictions and concerns linked to identity and sexuality. Rachel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rachel works with complex cases and relationship difficulties, bringing straightforward tools and steady listening to sessions. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help people notice patterns, manage difficult feelings and make small changes that matter. She has experience delivering therapy remotely and by telephone, and she aims to make sessions fit into everyday life. Rachel has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, burnout, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and chronic health challenges. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and blended family issues. Her style balances practical strategies and emotional exploration. Conversations usually focus on what’s happening now, what keeps it going, and what could be different in daily life. Rachel will work with clients to set clear goals and check progress along the way. People looking for help are asked to use the Start Therapy button to begin the process and complete a short matching questionnaire. That initial step helps match needs to a suitable schedule and next session options.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a preferred direction, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand closeness and trust issues and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more rewarding. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection, helping people find their own solutions and build self-trust. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that suit the person. That collaborative process makes adjustments as progress is made. Practical benefits of online work include greater flexibility for fitting sessions into a busy week and the option of telephone contact when a shorter check-in is needed. Rachel's biography notes experience delivering remote and telephone therapy, but please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and to maintain continuity during life transitions.
