About Rachel

Rachel Andrews is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with people on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety and stress, as well as issues such as addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and self-esteem.

Rachel commonly sees adolescents and young adults. She focuses on practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions are centred on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps they can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That means she listens first to understand each person’s priorities, then uses straightforward CBT techniques to spot patterns and try new ways of responding to thoughts and feelings.

Rachel aims to help people who are coping with major life changes, career stresses, compassion fatigue or ADHD-related difficulties alongside emotional concerns. She also supports those dealing with intimacy-related issues and LGBT-related matters, using clear, goal-focused conversations.

Her work often combines short-term goal setting with ongoing review. People can expect practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption and anger, alongside space to talk about loss and trauma. To begin, the site’s matching steps help pair someone to her and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person clarify goals and priorities, which can be useful for relationship, grief and self-esteem work.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviours between meetings and using simple exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use and adjusts the plan as needs and goals change. That means the therapeutic method can shift over time if something else looks more helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote work helpful for keeping sessions consistent alongside study, work or family commitments.
