About Rachel

Rachel Lockwood is a counsellor who aims to put each person at the centre of the work. She invites clients to move at their own pace and focuses on building a non-judgemental connection. Rachel works in English and lists trauma among her areas of focus.

Her practice suits people needing a steady, listening presence as they talk through difficult issues. Rachel uses a blend of approaches to suit whatever someone brings to sessions.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment perspectives and trauma-focused methods to shape the work together. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to feelings, patterns and small changes that make daily life easier. Her background includes work across different settings and models.

Rachel has supported people with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement and sexual health concerns. She also works with issues such as addictions, body image, sleep problems, chronic illness and parenting strain. Rachel holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She has five years of clinical experience working with adults and young people. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer English sessions. In therapy she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Rachel frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people identify what will be most useful for them. If someone wants to begin, they can follow the platform steps to match and schedule sessions.

Ways of working Rachel names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Rachel commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when intimacy, trust or recurring conflict feel stuck. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going and to try small experiments that change day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist treats it as a collaboration. Together they will review goals, try methods that suit the person's needs, and adjust the plan if something does not fit. The focus is on what helps the person feel steadier and more able to manage challenges.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people see facial expression and tone, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text sessions are useful for short check-ins or when being on camera is not wanted. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still receiving regular support.
