About Rachel

Rachel Harris is a counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based support for work and wellbeing and everyday life pressures. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and draws on three years of professional experience in mental health. Rachel aims to create a calm, approachable space where people can begin to sort things out.

She works with common issues such as stress, anxiety and depression. Relationship and family problems are also a key focus, including communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of infidelity. Rachel also helps people coping with trauma and abuse, loss and bereavement, and addiction-related concerns.

Rachel pays attention to how early attachment and abandonment experiences shape present feelings. She supports people managing caregiver stress, low self-esteem, emptiness or isolation, and practical worries like money and workplace pressures. Young adults and women’s issues are mentioned among her areas of interest.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centred. Sessions aim to build trust, name what matters, and try new ways of handling hard moments. Rachel emphasises small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.

She uses an ethical practice framework set out by the BACP. People will be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, and sessions are arranged according to the therapist’s availability and the site’s subscription system.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps you identify unhelpful patterns and test new ways of coping; this suits stress, workplace issues and anxiety. Another useful approach targets traumatic memories and their emotional impact by helping people make sense of difficult events and reduce their day-to-day hold; this can be helpful after abuse or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work together with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as work proceeds. The emphasis is on collaboration and steady progress rather than one fixed method.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online work to practical needs so therapy fits around work and life commitments.
