About Rachel
Rachel Kilburn is a BACP counsellor with ten years of therapeutic experience. She combines several approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs and aims to create a calm, respectful space to talk. Rachel draws on her own life experience as a parent and family member to relate to the everyday pressures people bring to therapy.
She uses an integrative style, drawing on Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. This mix allows practical skills work alongside exploring patterns from the past. Sessions can include creative methods when that helps someone express things they find hard to put into words.
Rachel often focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, workplace strain, panic attacks, social anxiety and issues around caregiving and attachment. Coaching-style conversations are used when a person wants clearer steps forward.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. The first session is used to get to know the person and gather the information needed to shape further work. Rachel emphasises a non-judgemental way of listening so people can say what matters to them.
Over time she aims to help people relate differently to difficult events and make new choices for their future. The focus is on small, practical changes alongside understanding deeper patterns, so people can feel more confident and able to move forward.
How Rachel's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathic reflection and helps build the person's confidence to make changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or panic attacks. Psychodynamic ideas help bring repeated patterns into awareness so people can choose different responses.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Rachel aims to collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so sessions remain useful and relevant.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of appointments around work or family life and fewer travel commitments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when helpful or reduce the need to be on camera if that suits someone's comfort or bandwidth.
