Rachel Harris, BACP

Rachel Harris is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and the emotional impact of relationship problems. Her style aims to be warm and approachable so clients feel heard and understood from the start.

Rachel uses everyday language in sessions and focuses on practical steps as well as emotional healing. She helps people who are dealing with loss, abuse, depression, addiction, low self-esteem and the challenges of life transitions. ADHD and workplace or financial worries are also areas she addresses.

With three years of experience in mental health and wellbeing, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. Sessions centre on building a trusting relationship that makes it easier to talk about difficult things and try new ways of coping. Rachel pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when these come up.

People commonly bring communication problems, caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness or issues around infidelity and separation. Rachel offers a steady presence to help people untangle these problems and plan small, manageable changes. She places emphasis on healing old wounds while helping clients move forward in daily life.

Rachel follows the BACP ethical framework and code of conduct. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One common approach she draws on helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and the impact of abuse so painful memories feel less overwhelming and daily functioning improves.

Choosing the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different approaches with the client and decide together which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This shared planning helps tailor sessions so they feel useful from the first few meetings.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit more readily into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, and make it simpler to keep up with regular sessions when daily routines are full. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and coping plans to work well in online appointments, helping people make steady progress without needing to change their day too much.
