Rachel Kilburn
Practical, compassionate support for life's hard moments
About Rachel
Rachel Kilburn is a counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with ten years of experience. She draws on that experience to offer calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. Rachel writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make sessions feel manageable and human.
Rachel uses an integrative style that blends approaches to suit the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She listens first, then suggests practical steps alongside space to talk about deeper feelings. Sessions can include thought-focused techniques, reflective discussion about past patterns, or short-term goal work depending on what helps. She often helps people cope with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, panic and social anxiety, and workplace stress.
Rachel also supports those facing caregiver strain, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Her practice includes coaching-style conversations when clients want practical change as well as more exploratory therapeutic work. In the first meeting she gathers information and together with the client decides a comfortable pace.
Therapy aims to make daily life easier, not just to talk about problems. Rachel encourages people to try small new ways of relating to past events and current pressures. Her approach is collaborative and non-judgemental.
She offers phone, video, live chat and text options to suit different needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rachel's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It creates space to talk about feelings and decide what matters most, which helps with low self-esteem, life changes and loneliness.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and simple tools to reduce anxiety, panic and depressive thinking and to build new coping habits.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from the past that turn up in everyday life. It can help people understand longstanding reactions and make different choices about relationships and work.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with the client to try different ways of working and agree what feels most useful. That may mean mixing short-term practical techniques with deeper reflective sessions depending on goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a lunch break, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family, work and daily life.
