About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship and family concerns.

Rachel also works with clients affected by codependency, blended family issues and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed therapies. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her mix and she also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred and Attachment-Based methods shape how she listens and plans work with each person.

Rachel has experience delivering telephone and virtual therapy, and she has practised in mental health settings with complex cases.

How Rachel uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and the patterns they create in relationships and personal life. It helps name emotions that are hard to put into words and looks at how those feelings affect interactions and choices.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills for moving forward.

Attachment-Based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and trust. It can help when patterns of avoidance, abandonment fears or attachment insecurity are getting in the way of close relationships.

Rachel treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, attachment-based methods or a blend is the best fit for their goals and preferences.

The biography states Rachel has experience with telephone and virtual therapy, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or family commitments.
