About Rachel
Rachel Andrews is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and with international clients. Rachel helps people bring concerns about relationships, family, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and other life stresses to counselling.
She commonly supports people with problems such as addictions, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, low self esteem, and career-related stress. Rachel also works with people facing intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and attention-deficit challenges. She often sees adolescents and young adults, though she works with adults more broadly.
Rachel uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural therapy, which means she gives people time to talk and helps them try practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make everyday life easier.
Her experience includes one-to-one work across a wide range of concerns. In sessions she listens for the problems people want to address and helps set clear, realistic goals. The approach is straightforward and task-focused when that is useful, with space for personal reflection when needed.
Those interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial appointment. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches used and how online counselling works
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person in front of the counsellor. It gives space for people to talk about feelings and life events without being judged, and it helps clarify personal goals.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. Rachel will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy proceeds so the work can be adjusted together.
If you want online sessions, please confirm what formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help people maintain continuity of care while balancing family, study or work commitments.
