About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of work as a therapist and over twenty years in mental health settings. Rachel helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with issues around sexuality and gender identity, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and questions about life purpose.
Rachel works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now and on important earlier life events that still affect daily life. She uses relational thinking to notice repeating patterns and how they affect relationships and mood.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred ideas, Psychodynamic thinking and Motivational Interviewing. That mix is applied flexibly depending on each person’s needs and goals. Conversations may look at feelings, past events, relationship patterns and practical steps for change.
People can expect sessions that explore emotions, thinking and behaviour together. Rachel pays attention to how past connections shape current reactions and how small shifts in perspective can change day-to-day coping. Practical discussion and reflective work are often combined.
Rachel welcomes people who are questioning their next steps after career or relationship changes, coping with grief or health issues, or wanting clearer direction in midlife. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the online booking flow.
How Rachel’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect trust, intimacy and reactions under stress. Client-Centred work prioritises the individual’s perspective and uses open, reflective conversation to help people clarify what matters and to make decisions about next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on someone’s concerns, goals and preferences. That shared exploration helps decide whether more reflective psychodynamic material or practical motivational techniques are needed at any stage.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to arrange shorter check-ins or evening sessions. It also allows sustained work across geographic boundaries when international contact is needed. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors and therapists often adapt conversation, pacing and practical tasks so progress can be made in an online setting without changing the core therapeutic focus.
