About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and self-esteem difficulties. She also helps with career challenges, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns, and offers coaching around life changes and parenting pressures. Rachel holds BACP registration and practises in the United Kingdom.
Rachel uses a practical, flexible style in sessions. She tailors the approach to each concern, looking at what triggers problems and how they developed. She aims to help people find acceptance and then move towards manageable change that fits their life.
Her work draws on a blend of well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred influences shape how she looks at relationships and emotional safety.
Rachel has seven years of experience, combining workplace insight with therapeutic practice. That background keeps her aware of pressures that can come from work and home life. She takes a straightforward, conversational tone in sessions and adapts the pace to each person.
People can expect sessions that focus on clear goals, practical steps and understanding the root of recurring problems. Rachel works with a wide range of concerns including LGBT matters, family and fatherhood issues, abandonment and codependency, among others.
How therapeutic 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 what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It is practical and problem-focused, which can help with sleeping issues, anxiety and coping with everyday stresses.
Attachment-Based ideas and client-centred ways of working inform how Rachel views relationships and emotional repair, emphasising being heard and building safer ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods suit you best. That collaboration helps make a plan that fits your needs rather than imposing a single route.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions from a familiar setting. Some formats also let conversations happen without video, which can suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Confirm the available options when you arrange your first meeting.
