About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years' experience who focuses on men’s wellbeing alongside a wide range of everyday struggles. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction and relationship or intimacy problems. Rachel works in straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel understandable and practical from the first meeting.

She draws on several established approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among other methods. This means she mixes talking, practical exercises and skills practice to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Her background includes many years working in mental health and with complex cases and relationships. She has completed training in a couples therapy model approved within IAPT, and has trained in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy. Rachel has experience delivering remote and telephone therapy.

Sessions aim to help people make small, steady changes that fit their lives. Conversations cover coping strategies, setting goals, understanding patterns and building skills to handle challenges. Rachel emphasizes collaboration so clients set the pace and focus of their work.

She practises in the United Kingdom and offers support in English. People who want to explore therapy can expect clear explanations, practical tools and a calm, direct approach.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises and weekly tasks to try between meetings, which can suit people managing stress or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and practising alternatives. In remote sessions this often means working through real-life examples and using short exercises to test new ways of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses to better fit the client’s needs.

The biography confirms Rachel has experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, so ask when booking which formats are available. Online or phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits and reduce travel time, helping people use therapy alongside everyday life.
