About Rachel
Rachel Andrews is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and other life challenges. She uses straightforward language and a calm, patient approach to make it easier to talk about hard things. Rachel aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard and understood.
With seven years of experience and BACP registration, she has supported people through bereavement, addiction, eating difficulties, long-term health concerns and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
She has particular experience with adolescents and young adults and brings that background into sessions where it is relevant. Rachel works in a way that centres the person's own goals. She listens first, then helps people decide what practical steps might feel manageable.
Sessions might include looking at thought patterns, trying new ways of coping, and checking what is helpful in day-to-day life. Her style is relaxed and collaborative rather than prescriptive. She aims to build trust quickly so people can talk about painful topics at their own pace.
Rachel encourages small changes that can make a real difference over time. People can expect clear, simple explanations of options and gentle feedback during sessions. Rachel adapts her approach to what the person needs in the moment, whether that means practical strategies or space to talk things through.

How Rachel uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions, which can be useful for relationship issues, low self-esteem and grief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, often useful for anxiety, depression and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss options and tailor the mix of listening and practical strategies to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
