About Rachel
Rachel Wright is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tensions and parenting pressures, along with grief, depression, addiction and other life changes.
She uses straightforward talking therapy and practical techniques to help people manage day to day difficulties. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and small steps they can try between meetings. Rachel also addresses intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem in plain, practical terms.
Her background includes work with complex presentations and relationship issues. She has training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and in approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and the Cognitive Behaviour Analysis System of Psychotherapy. Rachel has delivered therapy by telephone and video during her career.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas and client-centred ways of working. That means she pays attention to patterns in relationships, current difficulties, and practical coping skills people can use at home.
People who come to her often want a clear plan and tools to handle stress at home. Rachel aims to help adults sort out parenting strain, care-related stress, and the emotional fallout from loss or change. She helps people set realistic goals and try practical steps between sessions.
How sessions work
How Rachel uses different therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and life changes by focusing on what matters and small behavioural steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical tools for managing unhelpful thoughts and building different routines, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and depressive patterns.
Attachment-Based ideas focus on how past and current relationships shape how people respond to stress. This can help when relationship patterns, intimacy issues or family dynamics are part of the problem.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and the problems you bring. Together you will try an approach, review how it’s working, and adjust the plan as needed.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking. The biography records experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, but current options should be checked. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
