About Rachel
Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and life changes. She works with individuals facing grief, depression, addictions and relationship concerns. Rachel uses straightforward conversation to help people find clearer ways to cope and rest better.
Rachel draws on several practical approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Her work often focuses on relationships, intimacy and attachment issues alongside practical life problems such as parenting strain, career stress and caregiving burdens. She also supports people with trauma, ADHD and challenges around body image and eating. Sleep and rest are part of the concerns she addresses within sessions.
Rachel holds BACP registration, which indicates recognised professional standards with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has experience of remote work and has delivered telephone and virtual therapy.
To start, she invites people to talk about what they are struggling with now and what they want to change. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Rachel offers a calm, grounded style and focuses on usable tools people can try between sessions.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice stressful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online work can include exercises to notice thoughts, short behavioural experiments and planning around sleep or daily routines. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small changes. In remote sessions this can mean setting simple between-session tasks, keeping short thought records or practising sleep-focused routines together. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and staying steady when things feel overwhelming. Skills like grounding, distress tolerance and paced breathing can be taught and practised in sessions and then used between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rachel will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. The early sessions are used to agree priorities and try approaches to see what feels helpful. Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography confirms experience with telephone and virtual therapy but does not list every possible option. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions work around family and work commitments.Areas of expertise
