About Rachel
Counsellor Rachel Cannon is a BACP member with 13 years' experience working in counselling and many more years in mental health settings. Rachel works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of other concerns listed in her practice.
Rachel uses elements from different approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on attachment-based thinking, client-centred ways of working, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on the concerns the person brings and on what they want to change.
In sessions Rachel listens for repeating patterns in relationships and life choices. She helps people talk through difficult events, losses and identity questions such as gender and sexuality. Practical conversation about coping and managing distress is mixed with reflection on earlier experiences that still affect daily life.
Rachel pays attention to the effects of long-term stress and caring roles. She supports people dealing with chronic illness, pain, or the strain of being a carer. Work-related stresses, career change and midlife questions are also within her areas of interest.
People meet Rachel to work on panic, social anxiety, low self-esteem and anger, as well as addiction and bipolar-related issues. She speaks English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Rachel often works from an attachment-based perspective. This looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with anxiety, intimacy problems and repeating relationship patterns. She also uses client-centred methods which focus on the person's own priorities. Sessions aim to be led by what the client wants to bring and to build clearer understanding of feelings and choices. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will help clients identify which methods feel most useful. This is a collaborative discussion based on the person's concerns, goals and preferences. Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, manage travel or have shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed instead of being on camera.Areas of expertise
