About Rachel
Rachel Hamilton is a counsellor who focuses on offering a calm, person-centred approach. She uses an integrative style that aims to help people untangle difficult feelings and cope with life changes. Rachel works at a pace that suits each person and gives space to talk without judgement.
She draws on five years of experience and a background that includes volunteer roles with Victim Support Scotland and Healed Scars. That work involved supporting people affected by emotional abuse, trauma, domestic violence and sexual violence. Those experiences inform how she listens and responds in sessions.
Rachel uses practical methods from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas. Sessions often focus on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with addiction, parenting strain, body image and work-related pressures.
Her practice includes attention to adoption and foster care concerns alongside issues such as abandonment and attachment. Rachel also works with people facing long-term illness, caring responsibilities and ageing-related worries. She aims to help clients find clearer steps forward and to build coping strategies that fit their life.
Rachel is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, MBACP, and holds a COSCA-accredited Diploma in Counselling. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How these approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which many find helpful for stress and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision means methods can be adjusted over time if something does not feel helpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when required. It can also support people who live abroad or need to coordinate across time zones, since international clients are accepted. Registered professionals and therapists often use a mix of practical tools and structured exercises that adapt well to remote sessions.
