Rachel Harris

Rachel Harris is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rachel writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for everyday life.

Rachel works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse, and she supports those coping with loss or major life changes. She also helps with ADHD-related challenges, addictions, self-esteem and workplace pressures. Women's issues are one of the areas she pays attention to as part of her practice.

Her way of working puts the relationship first. Sessions are calm and straightforward. Rachel listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people try out new ways to handle difficult feelings and situations. She aims to make each session feel like a helpful conversation rather than a test.

With three years of experience in mental health and wellbeing, Rachel brings a patient and compassionate approach. She follows the ethical framework set out by the BACP. That guides how she works and how she treats the people who come to therapy.

People who meet Rachel often say her warmth makes it easier to open up. She encourages small, practical steps as well as deeper conversations about past hurt. If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps them shape clear goals and a manageable plan for progress.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Rachel uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and processing difficult experiences. One approach emphasises talking through current patterns and learning new coping skills to manage anxiety, stress and everyday overwhelm. This helps people reduce day-to-day distress and try different ways of responding.

Another approach involves carefully exploring the impact of past hurt and trauma on present life. This work helps people name painful experiences, understand how they affect relationships, and practise safer ways of relating and coping. It is useful for grief, abuse recovery and long-standing emotional wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Rachel works together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. She will listen to goals, notice what helps early on, and adjust the work so it fits the individual's needs and preferences.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in her biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for a focussed conversation from wherever you are. It also makes short check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to manage in a busy schedule.
