Her aim is to help people untangle painful patterns and make choices that feel right for them.

Everything Rachel lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How Rachel adapts evidence-based techniques for online therapy

Rachel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns, test them against real-life evidence and develop more balanced ways of thinking; this can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and health worries. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their grip on day-to-day life by working at a pace the person can manage; this supports people with past abuse or childhood trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works together with each person to decide which techniques suit their story, goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing, homework and the mix of conversation and skill-building so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when that feels important. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or times when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on progress.
