About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years' experience supporting people through stress, grief and major life changes. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and difficulties with work or parenting. Rachel also helps people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, ADHD, and questions around identity and sexuality.

Her sessions are grounded in practical conversation. She listens, helps people name what matters, and works out small, manageable steps to try between meetings. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at easing overwhelming thoughts and helping people find clearer choices.

Rachel trained and practised in a variety of therapeutic methods that she draws on to suit each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move towards goals. Attachment-based ways of working help when relationship patterns or past losses are central to the issue.

She has experience working with complex presentations and relationships, and brings that background into sessions so people feel heard and understood. Rachel has offered remote work and telephone or virtual therapy in the past and can explain options when you enquire.

Rachel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a suitable time.

Therapeutic approaches for remote counselling

Rachel often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, low mood and sleep disruption because it breaks problems into concrete steps you can practise between sessions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on what matters most to you and encourages small committed actions toward those values. ACT can help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel aims to discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods to try based on goals and preferences. She adapts tools over time if something is not working.

Her biography notes experience with telephone and virtual therapy, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving or travel, and telephone check-ins can be a shorter option when less screen time is needed. Speak with the service to clarify how sessions are scheduled and which formats will suit your routine.
