About Rachel
Rachel Hamilton is a counsellor who works in a person-centred, integrative way. She offers a calm space to talk and helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and trauma. Rachel encourages clients to set the pace and the topics for each session so they feel more in control.
She uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours when they feel stuck, or exploring attachment patterns that affect relationships. Sessions are practical and rooted in everyday concerns, from sleeping and eating problems to codependency and coping with life changes.
Rachel has five years of experience and has worked with organisations that support victims of abuse. That background has given her direct experience in helping people affected by emotional abuse, domestic violence and sexual violence. She aims to support people dealing with loss, bereavement and the aftermath of trauma.
Her listed approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Rachel is a BACP member, which is shown in her stated credentials.
Sessions are described as tailored to individual needs, with an emphasis on non-judgemental listening and collaboration. People who value a gentle, supportive tone and practical tools for daily life may find this approach helpful.
How different approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by focusing on small, practical steps rather than getting stuck in worry.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and reactions. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues and intimacy-related struggles by exploring patterns and building more helpful ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rachel will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and pace is set by the client, so methods can be adjusted as needs change.
The profile does not list specific online formats. Please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people draw on tools and worksheets together during a conversation, and supports continuity of care for those who move between locations. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain regular work while adapting the approach to each person’s circumstances.
