About Rachel
Rachel Harris is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges such as ADHD and addiction. She also supports individuals dealing with guilt and shame, abandonment, attachment issues and the strains of caregiving.
Rachel keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through what feels stuck, spot patterns that keep causing pain, and try new ways of coping. Conversations focus on present struggles and on making small, manageable changes that fit everyday life.
Her background in mental health and wellbeing has included supporting people after loss, during relationship problems, and while recovering from abuse. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to help people understand emotional responses to difficult events.
Rachel describes the therapeutic relationship as a steady professional alliance. She aims to be attentive and present in sessions and to help clients notice what helps them feel a bit more able to cope. Work often includes exploring communication problems, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and issues connected to money or work stress.
Practical details are simple: sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach focuses on understanding how thoughts and behaviours keep stress and anxiety going, helping people spot small changes that reduce overwhelming feelings. Another approach looks at emotional responses to trauma and relationship harm, supporting people to name difficult feelings and make sense of their reactions.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Rachel will discuss different approaches with the client and decide together which techniques fit the person's needs, goals and preferences. The therapist treats this as a collaborative exploration rather than a fixed prescription.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their style for remote sessions so that practical tasks, reflective conversation and skills practice still happen effectively.
