    About Rachel

    Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of direct practice experience and a long background working in mental health settings. Rachel uses a warm, non-judgemental manner and focuses on building a trusting relationship as the starting point for change. She sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and related life challenges.

    Rachel draws on several therapy traditions when meeting someone. She mixes client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about earlier life events and attachment patterns. Motivational Interviewing is one of the approaches she uses to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure how to begin.

    Sessions aim to be practical and relational. Rachel helps people notice repeating patterns, make sense of difficult feelings, and try small steps towards clearer goals. Conversations are kept straightforward and focused on what matters now and what might have shaped those difficulties.

    She also offers help around identity and sexuality questions, gender dysphoria, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, grief, and workplace or career concerns. Rachel pays attention to how prejudice, discrimination and stigma affect wellbeing and life choices.

    Rachel describes her role as encouraging and compassionate. She invites reflection, supports gradual change, and works with each person to find the right pace and focus for their needs.

  2. How Rachel’s approaches work in online therapy

    Rachel commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas in her work. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change and to build small, manageable steps towards those goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, trust and patterns that repeat. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and prioritises empathy, listening and the client’s pace and priorities.

    Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ideas and techniques feel helpful, and adjust the balance over time based on needs, goals and preferences.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy routines and fewer obstacles related to travel. Online work can make it simpler to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly sessions that slot into work breaks or family time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure they suit your day-to-day life.
