Rachel Hoare
Practical, person-focused support for anxiety and loss
About Rachel
Rachel Hoare is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and trauma. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, motivation problems, self-harm and issues common to young adults. She aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming and offers calm, straightforward support.
Rachel creates a conversational space where people can talk openly without judgement. Sessions are intended to be practical and centred on each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps set achievable goals and small steps forward. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sure conversations follow what matters most to the client. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify strengths and build on what already works.
These approaches are applied with attention to the person’s pace and priorities. Rachel has four years of professional experience working in independent practice and educational settings across the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP.
That registration is included here as a professional credential. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with a therapist and a suitable schedule can be arranged.

How Rachel’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps people feel heard, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and trauma. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical strengths and small steps that move things forward quickly. It is helpful when someone wants clearer goals and immediate coping ideas.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will listen to a person’s worries, aims and preferences and then suggest which ways of working might help most. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat lets people type in the moment and messaging supports brief, ongoing contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while still getting regular support from registered or accredited professionals.
