About Rachel

Rachel Kilburn is a BACP counsellor with 10 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, trauma and coaching. She uses an integrative approach drawing on several therapy styles to meet individual needs.

Rachel offers straightforward sessions that aim to make sense of what is happening now. She listens to the problem a person brings and uses practical conversations and exercises to help people manage symptoms and cope with life changes. Sessions can include exploring patterns from the past and trying things that change daily habits.

Her practice combines Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic ideas and Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused elements. That mix lets her work on thoughts and behaviours, look at how early relationships matter, and set clear steps for change. She also makes room for creative or age-appropriate ways of communicating where helpful.

Rachel has experience supporting adults, adolescents and children. She notes family and carer roles in her own life and brings that awareness into clinical work. Her stated focus areas also include attachment, caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, panic, social anxiety, women's issues and workplace difficulties.

The first session is used to build a working relationship and gather information. Subsequent sessions proceed at a pace chosen by the person attending, with choices on what methods to try based on the issues they want to address.

How Rachel uses therapy approaches in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and decide what they want to work on, useful for concerns like low self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behaviour patterns and uses practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic and depression where people want clear tools to try between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas explore how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help when patterns from early life affect present behaviour or relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods collaboratively. That means plans can shift as the person learns what works for them.

The biography does not specify exact remote formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals generally use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
