About Rachel
Rachel Challans is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Rachel approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on during sessions.
She sees the decision to seek help as a brave first step. Rachel aims to offer steady support and practical guidance. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, manageable changes that can make daily life feel easier.
Rachel draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour. She also uses client-centred methods that keep the person's own goals in focus. Somatic and trauma-focused ideas may be brought in when past events have left a lasting impact on the body and emotions.
Her work can include topics such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, parenting stresses, and issues linked to adoption and foster care. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs rather than a fixed agenda.
People who want practical, warm, and respectful support may find Rachel's style helpful. The aim is to help clients feel heard, to identify what they want to change, and to take steps towards those goals at a pace that suits them.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use guided conversation to map those patterns and try different ways of responding in day-to-day life.Client-centred therapy keeps the person's goals at the centre and relies on careful listening and reflection. In remote sessions this means time is spent clarifying priorities, naming strengths, and setting small, concrete steps between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel aims to work together with clients to choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. That choice is reviewed over time and adjusted if something else would be more helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations when that helps with continuity of care.
