About Rachel
Rachel Wright offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She focuses on reducing stress and anxiety, and on improving mood, relationships and day-to-day coping. Rachel uses clear, down-to-earth language so sessions feel easy to follow and relevant to real life.
Rachel has worked in mental health for 13 years and holds BACP registration. She has experience with complex cases and relationship difficulties and has delivered therapy by phone and video as well as in writing.
Background and approach
She combines several proven approaches so work is shaped around what each person needs. In sessions she helps people name what is happening and test small changes that make life feel steadier. That can mean noticing patterns in thoughts and feelings, practicing new ways to respond to stress, or learning to ask for what is needed in a close relationship.
She keeps goals practical and achievable. Her background includes work with mood difficulties, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. She also offers support around parenting pressures, carer stress, body image and intimacy-related issues.
Rachel draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive and acceptance-based methods. She adapts the mix to each person and helps them build skills they can use after therapy ends. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and respectful of each person's pace.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Rachel is able to work with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.

Online support
How Rachel adapts therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Rachel uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name painful emotions and to try new ways of relating to themselves and others. This approach is useful for people wanting to improve connection, process grief or shift recurring patterns in close relationships.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and small actions that matter to the client, and Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationship experiences shape current responses and security. ACT helps with anxiety and motivation, while attachment work helps when relationship patterns feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. She will discuss options and together decide which methods fit best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Therapy is collaborative and paced by the person seeking help.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
