About Rachel

Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of direct therapeutic experience in the UK. Rachel brings long-term work in mental health settings to each session and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. They speak from a practical, down-to-earth perspective and aim to make conversations straightforward and approachable.

Rachel takes a relational approach in sessions. They prioritise building a steady, trusting connection first. From that base, Rachel helps people talk through painful events, difficult feelings and patterns that keep returning in their life.

Background and approach

Therapy sessions combine ideas from attachment thinking, psychodynamic reflection and client-centred practice. Rachel adapts the focus to what matters most now - whether that is dealing with a recent crisis or understanding long-standing patterns from earlier life. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to make concrete changes, for example around addiction or motivation for new goals.

People consult Rachel for a wide range of issues, including grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, gender and sexuality questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, panic and social anxiety. Rachel also works with clients facing life transitions such as career change or midlife re-evaluation. Sessions are intended to be compassionate and non-judgemental.

Rachel aims to help people make sense of their experience, find clearer ways forward and build steadier day-to-day coping. The tone is encouraging, practical and respectful of each person’s individuality.

Approaches that inform online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. In online sessions this helps people understand repeating patterns in their friendships, partnerships and self-view and supports clearer choices about how to relate differently.

Client-centred therapy emphasises being listened to without judgement and following the client’s priorities. It suits people who want a steady, accepting space to talk things through and to develop their own solutions over time.

Motivational interviewing is a practical, collaborative method for people aiming to change behaviours such as substance use or established routines. It uses gentle questioning to strengthen motivation and plan small, achievable steps.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Rachel will help clients decide what fits best based on their goals, current situation and personal preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can shift as needs change.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer audio only, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when writing helps reflection. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep regular contact with a therapist.
