About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of direct therapeutic practice and many more years working across mental health settings. Rachel uses experience with a wide range of concerns to offer steady, practical support. Their manner is warm and non-judgemental and they aim to build a trusting relationship before tackling difficult issues.
Rachel helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. They also support those dealing with relationship worries, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, bipolar challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and identity matters such as gender dysphoria and sexuality. Their approach draws on attachment-based, client-centred, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions can include exploring past patterns, focusing on present difficulties, and working with motivation for change.
Rachel adapts the mix to each person's needs rather than using a single set of techniques. Sessions are conversational and reflective. Rachel encourages people to notice repeating patterns and to make gradual changes that feel manageable.
The tone is practical and compassionate, with attention to everyday life and responsibilities. Rachel works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. People who live outside the UK may also be able to work with them, subject to matching and scheduling.
To begin, a short questionnaire helps pair people with the right therapist and then appointments are scheduled according to availability.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Rachel works online
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's concerns, goals and preferences, and then suggest which ways of working might suit them best. That plan can change over time as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and it reduces the time needed to attend appointments in person. It also allows for shorter check-ins when people need quick support, or more in-depth sessions when deeper reflection is required. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to match everyday life and practical constraints.
