About Rachael
Rachael Foote is a counsellor with 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing depression, stress, anxiety and addictive behaviours. She also offers help for trauma, eating difficulties and the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis.
Rachael works with concerns such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or life-purpose questions. Rachael believes each person knows their own story. She uses that starting point to help people notice strengths and take practical steps towards change.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around respect and collaboration. The aim is to make steady progress, even when starting feels hard. Her approach draws on client-centred listening and practical tools.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques may be used to spot patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing can help when people feel stuck about change. Solution-Focused ideas are used to identify small, workable next steps.
People come to Rachael for a wide range of issues, including grief, chronic illness, body image and addiction. She also supports those dealing with dissociation, domestic violence effects, and feelings of isolation or jealousy. Her practice pays attention to emotional safety and pacing, especially after trauma.
Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging. Rachael speaks English and works with clients in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT techniques can help with depression, anxiety, sleep problems and unhelpful routines by teaching clear strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is treated as a joint effort. Rachael discusses goals and preferences and together they pick methods that fit the person’s situation. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to match different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone is suited to lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit into busy days or provide written reflections. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and health commitments.
