About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self‑esteem and grief. She also supports those coping with depression, career concerns, parenting pressures and issues around intimacy. Rachel holds BACP accreditation and brings seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom.
Her work is flexible and pragmatic. She listens first, asking clear questions about what happens, when it happens and how it affects daily life. The aim is to build an understanding of root causes and to help people find acceptance as a route to change. Sessions move at a pace that suits the individual and focus on practical steps as well as reflection.
Rachel describes an integrative approach, drawing on different methods depending on the concern. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside attachment and existential ideas. This mix is chosen to suit each person rather than follow a single method.
People can expect straightforward conversations about feelings, patterns and practical coping strategies. Rachel also works with issues linked to codependency, family of origin, communication problems and blended family stress. Her style aims to be warm, curious and goal‑oriented to help people shift unhelpful patterns.
Her background in a senior executive role informs her understanding of workplace pressures. That experience often shapes practical ways to manage stress, improve boundaries and navigate career decisions alongside personal concerns.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy, relationship difficulties and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will try methods that suit the person. That collaborative process guides which ideas and exercises are used.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when time is limited. It also lets people use techniques and worksheets between sessions and keeps the focus on practical tools and gentle exploration of relationship patterns and personal values.
