About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of practice in talking therapy and a long history working in mental health settings. Rachel brings a steady, compassionate presence to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and big life changes.
The first paragraph should help a worried reader know this is a calm, supportive person to talk with. Rachel draws on humanistic and psychodynamic ideas alongside motivational techniques.
Background and approach
That means conversations look at both what is happening now and earlier experiences that shape feelings and reactions. Sessions aim to help people notice repeating patterns, make sense of painful memories, and find practical ways to cope day to day. She is experienced supporting concerns such as stress, compassion fatigue, grief, anger, self-esteem and relationship matters.
There is particular focus on sexuality and gender identity, LGBT issues, gender dysphoria and the impacts of prejudice and discrimination. Rachel also helps with career transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and living with long-term conditions. People who prefer a reflective, person-centred style will often feel understood here.
Rachel works in a non-judgmental way and encourages self-compassion and clearer life purpose. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and Rachel accepts international clients.
Therapy can be arranged in video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, and is organised via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Rachel 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 mix of approaches is part of therapy. Rachel will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on the person's goals and preferences. That means approaches can shift over time as priorities change or new issues emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in, live chat is useful for people who prefer typing, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health needs and to keep continuity when life circumstances change.
