About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. Rachel works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions also cover relationship concerns, grief, sexuality and gender identity matters. She supports people dealing with life changes such as career shifts and caregiver stress.
Rachel has worked in mental health settings for over twenty years and moved into practice as an integrative counsellor. That background means she draws on several approaches rather than using just one method. She mixes attachment-based thinking with client-centred listening and psychodynamic ideas, and uses motivational interviewing where change is a focus.
In practical terms Rachel listens for patterns that show up across relationships and situations. She helps people talk through recent problems and earlier events that still affect how they relate to others. Conversations aim to make repetitive patterns clearer so people can choose different responses.
Sessions use straightforward language and a calm pace. Rachel pays attention to the balance between exploring past experiences and handling what is happening now. People are invited to set goals and review progress as therapy continues.
Rachel also works with particular concerns such as panic attacks, ADHD, midlife difficulties, chronic illness and issues related to prejudice and discrimination. Her experience includes supporting people with gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, and questions about sexuality and identity.
How Rachel uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current connections. In practice this means talking about patterns that appear in close relationships and looking at how they influence feelings and reactions now. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and uses listening and reflection to help someone clarify what matters and decide on next steps. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels hard; it uses straightforward questions to explore what someone wants and what might get in the way.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Rachel will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. That plan can change as sessions progress and as new priorities emerge. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person feels they can manage.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer, which helps some people engage more comfortably.
