About Rachael
Rachael Walker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and depression. She works with adults on problems like relationship strain, grief, parenting stress and trauma and abuse. She aims to create a calm space where someone can talk, be heard and start to make sense of difficult feelings.
Rachael is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and she has five years of professional experience.
Background and approach
She draws on a blend of approaches so sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a single fixed method. That flexibility helps when needs change over time. In session she listens without judgement and encourages people to find their own answers.
She does not give directives but offers questions, reflections and practical tools to try between meetings. Over time this can help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Her work often involves looking at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect.
She uses straightforward exercises to build coping skills and to reduce anxiety and low mood. Rachael also supports people navigating life changes, career stress, caring responsibilities and issues linked to intimacy and communication. People who value a warm, collaborative approach may find her style a good fit.
She aims to help clients develop clearer self‑awareness, stronger day‑to‑day coping and practical steps for moving forward.

How Rachael uses talking therapy online
Rachael works from a person‑centred viewpoint that puts the client at the centre of the conversation. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for emotional difficulties, self‑esteem problems and relationship worries.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT uses simple, practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rachael will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your needs. Together you can try different techniques and adapt the focus as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls work well for a full face‑to‑face style session, phone sessions suit shorter check‑ins or low bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief updates or when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caring duties or travel, and they let people keep momentum between meetings.
