About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a BACP counsellor with 13 years' experience in mental health practice in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting, anger and self-esteem.

Rachel commonly supports people facing major life changes, career pressures, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism. She also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family dynamics and caring responsibilities. Her scope includes both common and complex presentations that can affect day-to-day functioning.

Her practice draws on several evidence-informed methods. Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also integrates Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to clarify values and take action.

Rachel has experience offering remote work and delivering telephone and virtual sessions. She frames therapy as practical and collaborative - talking through problems, developing coping skills and testing what helps in real life. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what clients want to change.

Clients are invited to discuss goals and agree on an approach together. Rachel describes psychological therapies as tools people can learn to manage stress, anger and relationship strain, and to rebuild routines around sleep, work and parenting.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, anger and disrupted routines. DBT provides skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That way sessions focus on practical steps and skills the client can use between meetings.

The biography records experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, so confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. Phone contacts can be shorter check-ins and need less bandwidth, while video meetings allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. In all cases the aim is to help people build skills for managing anger, sleep, relationships and day-to-day stress.
