About Rachel

BACP. 13 years' experience. Rachel Wright works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem. She also lists work with ADHD, bipolar, career issues, compassion fatigue and complex relationship issues including abandonment and attachment concerns.

Rachel uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Her practice involves talking through difficulties, learning practical skills and looking at patterns that keep problems going. She has experience working remotely and offering telephone and virtual counselling.

Her background includes a range of roles in mental health over 13 years and additional training in couples work for depression, DBT and Cognitive Behaviour Analysis System of Psychotherapy as noted in her original biography. Rachel describes herself as passionate about psychological therapies and supporting people through complex issues.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps and on developing skills people can use between meetings. She will work with a person's values and relationships where relevant and address practical problems such as sleep or coping strategies. Clients can expect a conversational, skills-oriented approach that links life situations to thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Rachel sees people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats with the service.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small actions that align with those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly applied to depression, anxiety and sleep or eating concerns.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can help with intense emotions, relationship problems and impulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. That conversation shapes the focus and choice of techniques used in sessions.

Rachel has experience delivering telephone and virtual counselling. The original biography notes remote and telephone delivery, so confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel by removing commute time and allowing shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed.
