About Rachel

Rachel Hamilton is a counsellor who focuses on creating a calm, supportive space where people can talk about what matters to them. She uses a person-centred, integrative approach and aims to work at each person's pace. Sessions are practical and grounded, helping people think through worries and find clearer paths forward.

Her main focus areas include stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship problems and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

Rachel draws on several ways of working so she can adapt to each person's needs and goals. Rachel has five years of experience and has worked with organisations supporting people affected by emotional abuse and sexual and domestic violence. That hands-on work shaped how she listens and how she structures sessions to feel manageable for people in distress.

She is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, known as BACP. Rachel also holds counselling qualifications from COSCA and has ties with person-centred therapy networks in Scotland. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged from the United Kingdom for people internationally.

Rachel uses a collaborative style - she listens first, then helps people try approaches that fit their life and circumstances.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions so people can move towards what matters despite tough emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches can be used to address depression, anxiety and stress.

Rachel uses an integrative, person-centred frame alongside these methods. She will work collaboratively to find which approach or mix of techniques fits a person's goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the work and decisions are made together as the sessions progress.

Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when a more conversational session is needed, while phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, keeping in touch between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
