Rachel Wright, BACP

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, addictions, intimacy-related issues and ADHD. Rachel aims to make conversations straightforward and practical so people can start feeling steadier in daily life.

She uses a mix of talking therapies that focus on thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour. Sessions often look at what matters most to the person and how to build small, manageable changes. Rachel also draws on ideas about attachment and emotional regulation to help people feel clearer about their connections and responses.

Rachel has experience with complex presentations and relationship issues, including blended family stresses and challenges linked to adoption and foster care. She also supports people with body image, chronic illness, caregiving strain and work-related compassion fatigue. Her work includes helping people manage eating, sleeping and anger difficulties as well as longer-term mood conditions.

Rachel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises from the United Kingdom. She has worked remotely and has delivered telephone and virtual therapy in the past, and she accepts international clients.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. New clients are invited to set clear, realistic goals and to adjust the approach as therapy progresses. Practical strategies and emotional reflection are balanced to suit each person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and problem-focused work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on goals and personal preference. Over time the plan can be adjusted if something feels less helpful, and practical skills are mixed with space to reflect on relationships and early life patterns.

The biography records experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, so confirm the current session options before booking to know what is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or caring duties, and some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone while others choose longer video conversations. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote work to support ongoing consistency and to offer sessions when travel or scheduling would otherwise be difficult.
