About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and parenting challenges. She works with people dealing with grief, trauma, sleeping problems, anger and career changes. Rachel uses straightforward listening and practical strategies to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.
Rachel draws on seven years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide a thoughtful and adaptable practice.
Background and approach
She blends several approaches to suit each person, focusing on what is happening now and how patterns began. Sessions are conversational and aim to make ideas simple and usable between meetings. In sessions Rachel helps people pinpoint the root of recurrent problems.
She looks at thoughts, behaviours and relationships to find small steps that make a real difference. Rachel emphasises acceptance as a route to change and encourages clear personal goals alongside practical tasks. Her work can address issues such as abandonment, attachment challenges, blended family strain, codependency and communication problems.
She also supports people with body image, caregiver stress, commitment worries and fatherhood questions. Rachel tailors the mix of techniques to match each person’s needs and pace. People can expect a warm, direct style that balances empathy with action.
Rachel aims to help people build skills they can use day to day, and to create sustainable shifts rather than quick fixes. She practices from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Approaches that suit online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with sleeping problems, worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and patterns, helping people address attachment issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may shift over time as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need ongoing, brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to maintain momentum between meetings.
