About Rachel
Rachel Wright offers practical, calm support for people facing a wide range of emotional challenges. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, low self-esteem and mood difficulties. Rachel also helps with relationship strains, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and the impact of life changes.
She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellor with 13 years of experience. Rachel takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions.
Background and approach
She listens to what matters most and helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Conversations are down-to-earth and aimed at building usable skills for day-to-day life. She adapts methods to the individual rather than following a single formula.
Her practice draws on several psychological approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These approaches are used to help people manage difficult thoughts, build emotional skills and make values-based choices. Rachel also uses attachment-based and client-centred work to understand patterns in relationships.
She has worked with complex presentations and relational difficulties across many settings. Rachel has experience delivering therapy remotely, using telephone and virtual sessions when appropriate. This practical experience supports people who need more flexible options for getting help.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule. She offers international appointments and aims to help people find steady, manageable ways to move forward.

How Rachel works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean trying one approach first and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Rachel has experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, which can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make sessions possible across time zones. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect.
