How evidence-based techniques can work online

Rachel describes her work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-focused. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which helps break worries into small, manageable steps and is useful for stress and anxiety. Another is grief-focused talking techniques that help people make sense of loss and find ways to remember and cope.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then try techniques that suit you. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as you see what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or not use video if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain which format will best support your goals when you begin the matching process.
