About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years' experience supporting people through stressful and painful life moments. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people dealing with addiction, ADHD or major life changes. Rachel also helps those affected by adoption and foster care questions and related attachment issues.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She draws on practical approaches to help people manage difficult feelings and make day-to-day changes. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice what matters to them and begin taking small steps that can improve how they cope.

Rachel has a BACP accreditation, which is listed as her professional credential. She has extensive experience with complex cases and relationship difficulties gained across clinical settings over more than a decade.

Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach coping skills and behaviour change. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-based ways of working to address relational patterns and sense of self.

She has experience providing remote work and has delivered both telephone and virtual therapy in the past. People who choose to work with her can expect a practical, supportive approach focused on real challenges and workable steps forward.

How Rachel's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; this is often helpful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early patterns shape current connections, which can help with adoption and attachment-related worries.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adapting practical exercises for online sessions.

The biography records prior experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, so ask to confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and medical appointments. It also lets sessions be shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time so clients can use appointment slots more easily during a busy week. Registered or accredited professionals tailor tools and homework so online sessions stay practical and goal focused.
