About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She draws on seven years of experience and uses practical, straightforward methods to help clients face daily pressures and life transitions. Rachel keeps conversations grounded and direct so clients feel heard and understood from the first session.
She adapts her approach to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
Background and approach
Sessions often begin by looking at what brings someone in now and the patterns that keep problems going. Rachel explores how thoughts, behaviours and relationships affect mood and coping, then helps people try different ways of responding. Her work includes a range of concerns such as relationships, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
She also supports people dealing with career strain, parenting pressures and changes that come with major life events. Rachel pays attention to attachment and how past relationships shape current reactions. Therapy sessions typically blend acceptance, practical exercises and reflective conversation.
Clients may be invited to try exercises between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Rachel aims to make the work useful and relevant to day‑to‑day life. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP.
Rachel offers sessions in English and works with adults facing a range of personal and relational challenges.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss the options with each person and choose methods that match goals, preferences and practical needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversational style. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check‑in. Live chat and messaging allow written conversation and flexible timing, which can fit around work or childcare. These formats make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into a busy life.
