About Rachel

Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience in therapeutic practice in the United Kingdom. Rachel draws on a broad background working in mental health settings to help people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and related concerns. She uses a calm, direct style and aims to build a dependable working relationship with each person.

Rachel usually blends humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to suit the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on what is happening now and on how earlier experiences still affect daily life. She encourages reflection so people can spot repeating patterns and make different choices. Her work also covers relationship matters, issues around sexuality and gender identity, grief, compassion fatigue and coping with major life changes like career shifts or role changes.

Rachel supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, panic, ADHD and long-term health challenges. Practically, she uses client-centred listening and motivational techniques to help people find their own reasons to change. Psychodynamic ideas help when people want to understand deeper patterns and attachment-based thinking is used where relationships are central to the difficulty.

Rachel takes a non-judgemental and encouraging approach. She aims to make the therapy space straightforward and respectful so people can talk honestly about sensitive issues. If someone reaches out, she helps them work through the next small steps.

Approaches that shape online support

Rachel uses client-centred work to prioritise the person in the room. That means listening carefully, reflecting what she hears and helping people identify their own goals and next steps. This approach suits people who want a supportive, non-directive space to make sense of problems.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps when relationship difficulties, intimacy or trust are central issues and when someone wants to understand how past bonds affect present life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Rachel will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She tailors focus between present-day concerns and earlier life events, matching techniques to the client's goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Rachel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins, while live chat or messaging can be easier to fit around a busy day or to pace reflection over time. These options make it easier to keep therapy going across distances and different schedules while still working directly with a registered or accredited professional.
