About Rachel
Rachel Hoare offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She introduces simple, practical steps so conversations stay focused and manageable. Rachel writes in plain terms and aims to make the first sessions feel less daunting for those unsure where to begin.
Rachel is a BACP counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work in independent practice and educational settings.
Background and approach
She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, self-harm, and issues common in young adulthood. In sessions she creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them. Conversations are guided by the clients' goals, with practical ideas offered when useful.
She aims to keep things straightforward so progress can feel achievable week to week. Rachel uses client-centred methods to listen carefully to each person's experience. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to help clients identify small, workable steps towards change.
These approaches are used together to match a client's pace and needs. People often come with a mix of concerns, such as anxiety combined with low motivation or the ongoing effects of past abuse. Rachel focuses on what is most pressing for each person and works on clear, manageable goals.
That practical focus makes therapy easier to fit into a busy life.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable changes rather than dwelling on problems. Sessions often set short-term goals and identify practical steps that can be tried between meetings. This method is helpful when someone wants concrete ideas to reduce anxiety or improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses. The aim is to build a plan that feels doable and relevant for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging lets people write when it fits their schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
