About Rachael
Rachael Walker is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and motivation difficulties. Rachael also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
Rachael describes counselling as a collaborative process. She listens without judgement and does not give direct advice. Instead she works alongside clients to help them notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and to try different ways of responding to problems.
Her work draws on several approaches, including Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She chooses techniques from these approaches depending on what each person needs and how they respond. That might mean talking through thoughts and behaviours, practising new ways of coping, or reflecting on feelings about relationships and loss.
She aims to help people build practical skills they can use day to day. That includes spotting distorted thinking, developing coping strategies, and changing repeated behaviour that causes distress. Sessions are described as a place to increase self-awareness and try different options for moving forward.
People looking to start can expect a steady, practical way of working. Rachael focuses on clear steps and simple exercises as part of ongoing conversations. She supports clients in developing the skills to manage difficulties beyond therapy.
Using CBT and client-centred work in online sessions
Rachael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in ways that are straightforward and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses; it can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep problems going. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation centres on the person’s experience and pace, helping them feel heard while they reflect on feelings or relationships.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Rachael will talk with the client about goals, what has or has not worked before, and which methods feel most useful. Together they can try simple exercises, review what helped between sessions, and adjust the approach as progress is made.
Confirm the precise session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing not to be on camera when that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals often aim to make sessions practical and reachable so people can use new skills in everyday routines.
