About Rachel

Rachel Xuereb helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career pressures and the strain of life changes. Rachel presents herself in a calm, practical way to make hard conversations feel simpler and more manageable.

She describes her style as adaptable. Sessions focus on understanding how a problem started and how it shows up now.

Background and approach

That helps people decide what to try next and how to make steady changes that fit their life. Rachel uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred talking, cognitive behavioural ideas and existential thinking. These tools are used in different amounts depending on the person and the issue.

She aims to match the method to the situation rather than using one fixed model. In practice sessions often include talking through difficult memories, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical steps between meetings. There is also space to explore feelings about identity, relationships and loss.

Rachel works to create a calm pace so people can reflect and try things that feel doable. She holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Rachel has seven years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom and meets people in a range of online formats suitable for different needs.

How Rachel's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress where people want clearer direction about what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and how they affect current connections; it can help with intimacy, communication and family-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and she adapts techniques to match how someone prefers to work and what they want to achieve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
