About Rachael
Rachael Foote is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 13 years of counselling and mental health experience in the United Kingdom and works with issues such as depression, stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma and abuse.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on talking through the problems that matter and building on what already helps. Rachael aims to help people manage symptoms and find practical steps they can use day to day.
Her background includes work with eating disorders and cancer diagnosis and treatment. She has also supported people dealing with family problems, relationship issues, grief and changes in life circumstances. This range of settings has given her experience of different life challenges and how they affect mood and behaviour.
Rachael uses a mix of client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when people are ready to take different steps. These approaches mean sessions can include talking, practical planning and exploring barriers to change.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats and any local details that affect appointments. To begin, users follow the site process to view online counselling options and book a first appointment.
How Rachael uses client-centred and CBT methods online
Rachael combines client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural techniques to help with mood, anxiety and unhelpful patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, which can help clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress.She also uses motivational interviewing when people want support to change habits such as substance use or behaviours linked to eating issues. That approach helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to change. Figuring out the right mix of methods is part of the process, and the therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that suit their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals typically use these benefits to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
