About Rachel
Rachel Lockwood is a counsellor who puts the client at the centre of the work. She offers a calm space where people can move at their own pace and speak about what matters to them. Rachel frames sessions around what each person needs and aims to build a warm, non-judgemental relationship.
She uses a mix of counselling approaches to meet different needs. That includes attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, motivational interviewing and narrative work.
Background and approach
Rachel adapts these approaches to suit things like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and bereavement. Clients have seen her for a wide range of concerns, such as self-esteem, addiction, grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and struggles with intimacy. She has also worked with issues linked to caregiving, chronic illness, and blended family challenges.
Rachel listens for the patterns behind problems and helps people find practical ways forward. Rachel holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her professional credential. She has five years of practice experience and has worked in different settings alongside individuals and couples.
Her experience includes supporting people through life changes and difficult losses. The counselling approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Rachel aims to help people feel understood and to support them in trying new ways of coping.
She welcomes conversations about whether her way of working feels like a good fit.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to agree what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. This shared planning helps make sure sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of contact types. Video calls allow visual connection similar to face-to-face work. Phone sessions are often easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or people who express themselves better in writing. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between sessions.
