About Rachel
Rachel Barrett is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for people feeling overwhelmed. She meets people where they are with calm, direct support and simple tools to manage stress, anxiety and low mood. Rachel works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She holds BACP registration, which is noted in her credentials. Rachel helps people talk through relationship strain, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing work-related compassion fatigue, life changes and questions about purpose. Issues such as self-esteem, anger and ADHD-related challenges are part of her day-to-day practice. Her way of working focuses on what matters to each person.
She mixes short, practical strategies with deeper exploration of patterns and attachments. That may include mindfulness exercises or steps to change unhelpful thinking. Rachel draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice thoughts and act on chosen values.
She also uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. With three years of professional experience, she aims for sessions that feel steady and straightforward. People can expect a non-judgemental space to name problems and try small changes over time.
Rachel encourages realistic steps and honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to try ACT, CBT, attachment-based ideas or a mix of methods and then review what's helping as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for full conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
