How Rachel uses therapy methods online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising new ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Rachel aims to work with clients to find the best approach together. She will talk through goals, try techniques and adapt the plan as progress is reviewed. Deciding what fits happens collaboratively, so the method can change as needs evolve.

The profile notes she has experience with telephone and virtual therapy, so ask to confirm which session formats are currently offered before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also mean choosing video or phone depending on how much you want to be on camera and how much time you have.
