Rachel Hamilton, BACP

Rachel Hamilton is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, addictions, anger and related concerns. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people who want to manage strong feelings and improve day-to-day coping.

She uses an integrative, person-centred approach and draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on what is causing distress now and on simple, manageable steps to reduce reactivity and improve communication. Rachel keeps language clear and avoids clinical jargon.

Her background includes volunteer work with Victim Support Scotland and Healed Scars, where she worked with people affected by emotional abuse, trauma, domestic and sexual violence. That work shaped her practical methods for supporting people through loss and major life changes. Rachel mixes talking therapy with real-world strategies to handle anger, sleep problems, and low mood.

She explains therapy options plainly and works at a pace the client chooses. Conversations often cover patterns that lead to snapping, mounting resentment, or workplace frustration, and then try out small behavioural experiments. Rachel supports people to notice early warning signs and to practise calmer responses.

Sessions are offered in English and Rachel accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To get started, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
