About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, depression, grief, parenting stress and issues around intimacy. Rachel also supports people dealing with career challenges, caregiving strain and codependency patterns where someone keeps putting others first to their own cost.
She describes an integrative style that adapts to what each person brings. Sessions look at how and when a problem shows up, and what keeps it repeating. That helps people understand the patterns behind worry, anger, avoidance or people-pleasing behaviour.
Rachel uses a mix of well-known approaches to match the task at hand. That can include talking through thoughts and behaviours, noticing unhelpful patterns from early relationships, and working with values to guide decisions in difficult situations. Practical tools are used alongside reflective discussion.
In the therapy room she aims to identify root causes and then work towards acceptance and change at a pace that suits the client. This can involve learning simpler ways to set boundaries, manage difficult feelings, sleep better, or cope with loss and change.
Sessions are offered in English in the UK. If someone wants to explore next steps they are invited to use the site matching process to book an initial session and see which arrangements best fit their life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps when someone feels stuck or keeps avoiding difficult feelings by identifying what matters and taking small steps towards those things.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can be useful for people who repeat the same relationship dynamics, struggle with closeness, or feel abandoned and empty.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own pace and perspective. It offers reflective listening and space to make sense of feelings before moving to practical changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on behaviour change, relationship patterns, values, or a mix of these.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to adapt exercises for video or audio sessions and how to pace work so it fits everyday life.
