Rachel Andrews
Practical, person-centred support for life changes
About Rachel
Rachel Andrews is a counsellor who aims to make it easier for people to talk about what’s worrying them. She keeps sessions straightforward and calm so parents and individuals can focus on the issue at hand. Rachel works in English and offers appointments that fit into busy lives.
Rachel has seven years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. She helps with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and difficulties with eating and sleeping.
Background and approach
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, anger and career transitions. Her everyday approach is built on Client-Centred Therapy. That means conversations are guided by what the person wants to work on, at their own pace.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical ways to try things differently. Rachel has worked a great deal with adolescents and young adults, but she helps people across age ranges. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where trust can grow and practical steps can be tried between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client needs right now. People begin by describing their main concerns and goals, then Rachel and the client agree on a simple plan. That plan can include short exercises, techniques to manage stress, or ways to approach difficult conversations.
Progress is reviewed together so the next steps are clear.

How Rachel's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to sessions. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions; this approach suits people who want a supportive, paced conversation about their concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical strategies to change them. It can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and some day-to-day habits like sleep or eating routines by using short exercises and experiments between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as progress continues. That collaborative planning helps people try techniques that fit their life and aims.
Online appointments make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls give a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits people who prefer typing, and text-based messaging allows brief check-ins between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different days and routines, and the counsellor and client can switch formats as needed.
