About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and career pressures. Rachel draws on seven years of practice and holds BACP accreditation, and she approaches each concern with direct, practical conversation.
Rachel adapts her style to the person and the problem. Sessions look at how issues began and how they show up now. She asks simple questions about what, when and why things happen, and then helps people find ways to accept difficult feelings and move toward change.
Her work uses a mix of evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, together with attachment-informed and client-centred ideas. This lets her match tools to a person’s needs rather than use one set method for everyone.
In practice Rachel focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes. Conversations may cover thoughts, behaviours, relationships and practical routines that affect sleep and day-to-day functioning. She aims for clear steps people can take between sessions.
Sessions are provided from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. People who want to start are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Rachel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take steps that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep disruption because it focuses on gentle action rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers practical exercises and routines that can improve sleep, reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns in relationships.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to test different ways of working and settles on methods that suit their goals and everyday life. She explains options and adapts as therapy progresses so the plan fits the client rather than the other way around.
If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer a quieter setting for short check-ins or longer therapeutic conversations. They also allow practical homework and routine-building to be discussed in context, which can help with sleep and day-to-day coping.
