About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions and a wide range of other issues including blended family matters. Rachel also supports people with intimacy, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting strains, ADHD and career-related stress.

She describes a background in mental health and experience with complex cases and difficult relationships. Her work has included training in couple-focused approaches for depression, and engagement with Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and cognitive behaviour work. Rachel has provided therapy remotely and by telephone as part of her practice.

In sessions she aims to keep things practical. People can expect conversations that look at patterns, workable steps and tools to manage day-to-day problems. She mixes talking therapies that focus on thoughts and behaviour with approaches that pay attention to attachment and values.

Rachel commonly helps people who are merging households, dealing with loyalty conflicts, or adjusting to new parenting roles. She also supports people coping with loss, addiction issues, chronic illness and long-term stress.

Her approach suits someone who wants clear strategies alongside space to talk. Rachel asks about goals early on and reviews progress as therapy continues. For people in blended or stepfamily situations she can discuss practical ways to approach routines, boundaries and co-parenting conversations.

How Rachel uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It helps when people feel stuck or unsure what matters most after big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behaviour patterns and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness, which can be useful for people in new partnerships or stepfamily situations.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Rachel will discuss goals and preferences and together they decide which approach or combination feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography records experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, so check the booking details to confirm current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work breaks or travel. Telephone sessions can be a shorter check-in when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Confirm the formats offered before you schedule so sessions fit your everyday routines.
