Rachel Blythe, BACP, NCPS

Rachel uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional coping. One approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood, teaching ways to test thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce distress. Another approach centres on building steady coping skills for panic and intense emotion, using small steps and repeated practice to reduce the hold of panic attacks and improve day‑to‑day functioning. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will discuss what’s been tried before, what feels manageable now and what goals matter most to you. Together you will choose methods that match your needs and adapt them as progress is made. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text‑based messaging can be useful for brief check‑ins and ongoing support between longer meetings. These options give flexibility so the work can continue even when schedules are tight.
