About Rachel
Rachel Andrews is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has seven years of professional experience. She works with common problems such as depression, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. Rachel also helps people dealing with addiction, family struggles, low self-esteem and challenges around eating and sleep.
Rachel often works with adolescents and young adults, and she focuses on practical ways to manage everyday problems. Sessions tend to look at thoughts, feelings and habits, and how small changes can reduce stress and improve coping. She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred ideas. CBT here means spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative ways of thinking and acting. Client-centred work prioritises what the person wants to address and values their perspective in planning each session.
Rachel has supported people through bereavement, trauma and life transitions. She also offers help for parenting stress, compassion fatigue and work-related career worries. Conversations in sessions tend to be practical and focused on what can change from week to week.
To begin, Rachel asks people to set clear goals and agrees simple steps between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted if needed. For those coming from other countries, sessions are provided in English and she accepts international clients.
How Rachel uses CBT and client-centred work online
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small experiments in daily life. CBT sessions focus on practical steps - tracking thoughts, trying new responses and reviewing what helped. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens to what matters to the person and uses that to set clear, achievable goals.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Rachel will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasise CBT tasks, open conversation, or a mix of both and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefit of working online is fitting counselling into a busy life. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, or to choose a quieter time without travel. The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals recommend online work when it helps people keep therapy consistent and manageable.
