Rachel Andrews, BACP

Rachel Andrews is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing common issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strains. Rachel also supports people dealing with parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, addiction and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversations rather than jargon. Rachel uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that feed unhelpful feelings like anger or anxiety.

Her background includes focused work with young adults and people navigating life transitions. Sessions tend to break problems down into manageable steps and set clear small goals. That makes progress easier to notice and keeps work grounded in everyday life.

Rachel pays attention to how stress shows up day to day, for example in sleep, eating or work. She helps people try different coping options and then checks what actually helps. This hands-on way of working suits people who want direct ways to reduce snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, or lower simmering resentment.

To begin, Rachel asks people to describe what they want to change and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she and the client agree on practical techniques to try and a plan for follow-up.
