Rachel Xuereb, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating still affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and communicating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering a supportive space to be heard and to build self-understanding and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is often part of the work. Rachel will discuss different methods with each person and together they decide what feels most helpful based on the issues, goals and personal style of the client. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy going around work, parenting and other commitments.
