About Rachael
Rachael Foote helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She supports those coping with trauma, eating difficulties, grief and sleep problems. She also works with people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, career questions, self-esteem struggles, and the practical fallout of chronic illness or cancer.
Rachael is comfortable supporting LGBT issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and the wide range of life changes that can feel overwhelming. Rachael uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people make sense of what’s going on.
Background and approach
She listens first and follows the client’s pace, drawing on approaches that suit the person rather than a fixed formula. Sessions aim to build on strengths, sharpen practical coping skills and set small, achievable steps that lead to change. Her background spans 13 years working in mental health and counselling in the United Kingdom.
During that time she has supported people through addictive behaviours, abuse and trauma, cancer diagnosis and treatment, and eating and food-related issues. This range has shaped a practical style that balances emotional support with problem-solving. Clients should expect clear, down-to-earth communication and helps that focus on immediate problems as well as longer-term goals.
Rachael explains ideas plainly and works collaboratively to find what fits each person. The starting point is always the client’s experience and priorities. Sessions can address family difficulties, communication breakdowns, anger and compassion fatigue alongside typical therapy themes like meaning and life purpose.
Rachael aims to help people leave therapy with better tools for handling tough moments and a clearer sense of direction.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel and fuller interactions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is an issue or when someone needs a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, quick problem-solving or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, care responsibilities and day-to-day life.
