About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb, BACP, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. She also supports those facing depression, grief, parenting strain and intimacy-related concerns. Her work is practical and down to earth, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.
Rachel adapts her style to what each person brings. She listens without judgement and focuses on understanding how problems started and how they keep happening now. That understanding is used to find ways forward that suit the individual’s pace and preferences. She practices Client-Centred Therapy alongside other approaches, so the conversation centres on the person rather than a fixed method.
In sessions Rachel may use elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new actions. Attachment-based ideas can also guide work where early relationships shape current difficulties. She aims to help people build clearer values, steadier relationships and better coping strategies.
Rachel’s background includes seven years of experience working with a wide range of concerns across work and home life. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That registration is part of how she frames her practice in the United Kingdom.
People who choose to work with her can expect a conversational, reflective approach that blends listening with practical steps. She supports those wanting short-term coaching as well as deeper therapy, and she tailors the pace to what each person needs.
Online tools and talking approaches that can help
Rachel commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sure the conversation stays focused on the person’s needs and priorities. This approach means the counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing steps.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns from the past affect current connections, helping people see how early bonds shape present behaviour.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with people about what feels most useful and will try different methods to find a good fit. The process is collaborative, with goals set together and adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to work without being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
