About Rachel
Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years of experience offering practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and a wide range of life changes. Rachel offers sessions in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Rachel concentrates on clear, manageable steps during sessions. She adapts her style to what each person needs, whether that’s short-term coping strategies or longer conversations about patterns and meaning.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several well-known therapeutic methods to shape sessions around the person rather than the theory. Her background includes many years working in mental health, often with complex situations and relational difficulties. She has worked remotely and is experienced in telephone and video therapy.
This practical experience informs how she runs online sessions and follow-up between meetings. In meetings she focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and test small changes that fit daily life. Conversations are paced to suit the person, with breathing and grounding skills where helpful and problem-solving when decisions are needed.
People looking for help with parenting concerns will find a pragmatic focus on routines, boundaries and communication that can ease day-to-day strain. Rachel aims to make therapy understandable and useful from the first few sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people identify their values and take small actions that bring more meaning. It helps with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by encouraging practical moves rather than getting stuck in thoughts.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches straightforward tools to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties and aims for clear steps people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits personal goals, preferences and everyday demands. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare and changing routines while keeping the focus on useful, achievable change.
