About Rachael
Rachael Walker offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She explains things plainly and helps clients talk through what is happening now. Rachael uses clear, gentle listening so people can find their own solutions and make small, steady changes.
Rachael is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has five years of professional experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationships, grief, self-esteem, parenting issues, trauma and ADHD.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, bereavement and career-related worries. Her way of working combines client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches. Sessions focus on what matters to each person, and on building tools for coping, thinking more clearly, and changing unhelpful patterns.
Rachael aims to strike a balance between warmth and clear, structured help. People can expect a collaborative process. The counsellor offers questions and reflections rather than giving direct advice, and helps people try out new ways of responding to old problems.
Over time this can lead to improved self-awareness and stronger strategies for everyday life. Sessions are kept focused and accessible, using language that makes sense to a worried parent or a busy adult. Rachael encourages practical steps alongside emotional processing, so clients can begin to feel steadier and more in control between sessions.

Approaches Rachael lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and decide collaboratively which methods to try. The process is flexible so plans can change as understanding grows and new needs emerge.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling fit everyday life. Video suits deeper conversations when seeing facial cues helps, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing family, work and health demands.
