About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of counselling experience. They have worked across mental health settings for many years and support people who are facing anxiety, stress, depression, addiction and trauma. Rachel aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can start to talk about what feels overwhelming.
They draw on several therapy traditions to shape sessions around each person. The work may focus on current difficulties such as panic, relationship strain or career stress.
Background and approach
It can also look at earlier life events when those past experiences still affect day-to-day life. Rachel uses a client-centred stance, listening carefully and building a strong therapeutic relationship before suggesting ways forward. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes, such as addressing addictive behaviours.
Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas are brought in to help understand patterns in relationships or repeating emotional difficulties. The approach is practical and conversational. Sessions involve talking, reflecting and gentle challenge when useful.
Rachel pays attention to issues linked to gender, sexuality, prejudice and chronic health conditions, and helps people manage grief, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. People can expect sessions that focus on their goals and day-to-day coping. Rachel works alongside clients to notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
The emphasis is on steady, realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

Approaches Rachel lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss different ideas with clients and agree on a plan together. The process is collaborative - goals, comfort and preferences guide which methods are used and how sessions progress.
Online work offers flexibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let most of the usual face-to-face work continue, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want regular brief contact, or need support that fits around work or caregiving schedules. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these formats to support therapy tasks such as grounding, reflection and planning next steps.
