About Rachael
Rachael Walker is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and anger. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, ADHD and career-related stress.
Rachael describes counselling as a collaborative process. She listens without judgement and encourages clients to discover their own answers. Sessions focus on making sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviours so people can notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her approach is integrative and draws on Client-Centred ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That means she pays attention to how people experience things in the moment and also to how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Practical tools and reflective conversation are both used when they suit the person.
Rachael aims to help clients develop coping skills and clearer self-awareness. She supports people to practise new responses and to spot when thinking becomes distorted. The emphasis is on building skills rather than giving direct advice.
Her work covers a wide range of life challenges, including compassion fatigue, grief, chronic illness, attachment concerns and transitions such as separation or ageing. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people based in the UK.
How sessions work
How Rachael uses client-centred work and CBT online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person is experiencing. It helps people gain clarity about their feelings and encourages them to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain and grief.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It often involves practical exercises and simple tools to test and reframe unhelpful thinking. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, anger and depressive patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then together they decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.
