About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, parenting challenges and career struggles. Rachel uses a flexible, person-centred way of working to match what someone needs in the moment.
With seven years of experience and a BACP credential, she draws on several clinical approaches when helping people.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns and the root causes of difficulties, then work towards practical and meaningful changes. Rachel focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings and make choices aligned with their values. Her style tends to be direct and collaborative.
She listens for the story behind a difficulty and then uses tools from evidence-based methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Practical strategies are offered alongside space to reflect on meaning and identity. Rachel has particular experience supporting people with family and relationship problems, parenting and fatherhood issues, body image and communication difficulties.
She also works with people struggling with abandonment, codependency, commitment worries and blended family tensions. People who choose Rachel can expect a mix of talking therapy and targeted skills work. She aims to create a steady pace and clear goals, helping clients move from understanding to action.
The work is tailored to each person’s situation and priorities.

How Rachel works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted as therapy progresses.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins from wherever is most convenient. It can also make it simpler to follow up with short skill-based tasks between meetings. Ask about current session options when you arrange your first appointment.
