About Rachel

Rachel Barrett is a counsellor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She works with clients who have experienced trauma and abuse, and supports people coping with grief, anger or big life changes. Rachel uses clear, practical language and aims to make the first step feel less daunting.

She brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she includes with her professional details.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through what matters most to them and to find manageable ways forward. Rachel draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts while committing to valued actions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current struggles. In sessions she keeps the focus on the person in front of her, inviting them to set the pace and goals.

Practical tools are paired with time to reflect and tell one’s story. The work can include short exercises between meetings to test new ways of coping. People who choose Rachel often want a straightforward, compassionate counsellor who listens and offers clear steps.

She aims to make therapy understandable and usable in everyday life.

How Rachel applies therapeutic approaches online

Rachel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to identify small acts that point toward what matters to them. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions about meaningful life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and early bonds that affect current connections. This approach helps people understand why certain situations feel threatening and to practise different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to break unhelpful thinking cycles and try small behavioural experiments to test new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as the therapy progresses. She aims to collaborate on which techniques suit practical needs and emotional readiness.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing one another, while phone or messaging can be easier for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments.
