Rachel Wright, BACP

Rachel Wright offers approachable, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She is a counsellor with 13 years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Rachel uses straightforward techniques to help people manage symptoms and make day-to-day life easier.

Rachel works in a direct, collaborative way. She listens to what matters most and then suggests manageable steps to try between sessions. Conversations focus on current problems, coping strategies, and real-life changes people want to make. She aims to keep sessions clear and grounded rather than full of jargon.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, career strain and issues linked to identity and intimacy. Rachel also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress and complex emotional patterns such as attachment or codependency.

She draws on evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, tailoring them to each person's needs. Rachel also uses attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.

Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. International clients are welcome and sessions are delivered in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. It helps when people feel stuck by worry, low mood or uncertainty about life choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, which can be useful for intense mood swings, anger or self-critical thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss preferences, goals and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques to suit individual needs. That collaborative process aims to make therapy feel relevant and achievable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Rachel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. Many people find the flexibility helps them stay consistent with therapy while managing a busy life.
