Rachel Andrews

Rachel Andrews is a counsellor who helps people facing sleep concerns alongside many other life challenges. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, and issues such as addiction, eating difficulties and low self-esteem. Rachel is a BACP counsellor and has seven years of experience in practice in the United Kingdom.

She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is keeping them awake or disrupting their rest. Rachel often works with young adults and adolescents, drawing on straightforward, practical ways to tackle daily habits and worries that affect sleep. Conversations are paced to the individual and focused on what they want to change.

Her approach mixes client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. That means she will listen first, then suggest small experiments and ways of noticing thoughts and routines that affect rest. Sessions focus on what can be tried between meetings as well as in the session itself.

Rachel’s background includes seven years of professional work in the UK. She has experience supporting people through bereavement, trauma and relationship breakdowns, as well as issues around identity and intimacy. Her BACP credential is recorded as BACP.

People who choose to work with Rachel can expect direct, simple language and practical steps. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and works collaboratively to set realistic goals for sleep, mood and daily functioning.
