About Rachel
Rachel Woodley helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting strain, low self-esteem and depression. She works with issues around relationships, trauma, intimacy and anger. Her practice also covers career worries, life changes and support for those facing separation or family problems.
She keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and building steps that feel achievable. Rachel adapts her approach to each person, so the work fits everyday life rather than feeling overwhelming.
Background and approach
Rachel has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a calm, respectful style that values each person's experience. In sessions she will help you name the concerns, notice patterns and try small changes to test what helps.
This might include practical coping ideas, ways to manage strong emotions, and strategies for clearer communication with others. Parents are supported with the strain of parenting and changes around pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Rachel also offers help for issues such as codependency, money worries, isolation and questions about sexuality and self-love.
People can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with practical suggestions. Rachel aims to make therapy manageable for busy lives and to build confidence in handling challenges beyond the room.

Online support
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss options, listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Over time she will adjust the plan based on what is helpful, so therapy stays relevant to what matters to you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to use video. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare and other day-to-day demands.
