Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and conversations that feel manageable for someone under pressure. Her practice draws on approaches that are easy to follow in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship and lets the person lead the pace. Rachael also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people who want to change habits such as substance use. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, doable goals so progress is clear and steady.
People come to Rachael for many reasons including body image, chronic illness, family problems, communication difficulties, compassion fatigue and managing guilt or shame. Her sessions aim to be practical, calm and focused on what matters now and next steps people can try between meetings.

How Rachael's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship where the person sets the pace and topics for therapy. It is useful for many issues including low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes because it lets people feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and tries practical changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It works well for sleep problems, worry and mood shifts.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rachael will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. She adapts methods as progress unfolds so the plan reflects what is most helpful and realistic for that person.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction feels useful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, timely support between sessions and for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
