About Rachel
Rachel Woodley is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, relationship and family problems, and major life changes. Rachel approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
She aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy. Over seven years of professional practice have given her experience with a wide range of concerns.

These include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, career worries and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also works with people affected by codependency, divorce and separation, money problems, and pregnancy or postpartum challenges. Rachel prefers to tailor the dialogue and the plan to each person's needs.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside space to talk things through. She encourages clients to set small goals and to notice progress between meetings. Rachel is registered with BACP, which is noted as her professional credential.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people are asked to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Online support
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and will adjust methods as needed. This collaborative process means the plan can be changed if something is not working for the client.
Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy days and make it easier to keep in touch between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs, and make it easier to maintain regular contact across distances.
