About Rachel
Rachel Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions and a broad range of other difficulties. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Rachel focuses on practical work. She uses structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to try different ways of responding. This includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside acceptance and attachment-informed methods.
Her background includes work in mental health settings with complex presentations and relationship issues. She has completed additional training in an IAPT-approved couples model for depression and in approaches related to DBT and cognitive behavioural analysis, and has experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy.
In sessions she aims to make things concrete: identifying patterns that keep problems going, practising new skills, and checking what helps in day-to-day life. She also supports people managing long-term conditions, caregiving stress, concerns about identity and intimacy, eating, sleeping and work-related strain.
Practical steps are a common focus - short behavioural experiments, new ways of handling difficult thoughts, and clearer plans for coping with change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online options provided.
Approaches used and online sessions
Rachel works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new responses in everyday situations. CBT uses structured exercises and short behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and repetitive worry.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on values-based action and learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand relationship patterns and to help people change how they connect with others.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and together you will try practical methods that suit your needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as you learn what helps.
