About Rachel

Rachel Wright helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and a wide range of emotional difficulties. She works with concerns such as depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy. Rachel is a BACP counsellor with 13 years' experience.

Rachel focuses on complex presentations and relationship difficulties. She uses clear, practical conversations to identify what matters to each person. Sessions include looking at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and developing skills to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her work draws on several recognised approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to map unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy helps with emotion regulation and managing strong reactions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and early experiences affect current difficulties.

Rachel has worked in mental health settings for many years and has delivered therapy remotely. She has completed additional training in a couples therapy model for depression and in approaches related to DBT and cognitive behaviour analysis as noted in her background.

People can expect a straightforward, practical way of working. Rachel aims to set clear goals, practise skills between sessions, and review progress regularly. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.

How her approaches work in remote counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions based on personal values, which can be useful for stress, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process that may combine techniques from different approaches to suit the person sitting in front of her.

The biography notes experience in telephone and virtual therapy, but current session formats are not fully listed here, so it is sensible to confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time, helping people try therapy alongside daily commitments.
