About Rachael
Rachael Foote is a counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, stress and addictions. She also helps with trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, cancer-related distress and issues connected to LGBT identity. Rachael works with practical problems such as sleeping, parenting strain, career worries and low self-esteem.
Rachael views each person as the expert on their own life. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients make changes and notice strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that build toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. Her approach mixes client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people are trying to change habits or move through addiction-related challenges.
She tailors methods to the person rather than following a fixed script. Sessions aim to create space to talk through painful experiences such as grief, infidelity, domestic violence and bereavement. Rachael also supports people dealing with chronic pain, long-term illness and the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis.
She works in the United Kingdom and practises in English. Rachael is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her professional credential. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.

How Rachael's approaches work in online counselling
Rachael uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy as core parts of her work. Client-centred counselling focuses on open listening and helping the person lead the conversation, which can be useful for talking through identity, grief or relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful cycles, which many people find helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachael discusses a person’s goals and preferences and then adapts techniques in a collaborative way. This means the plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people to keep consistent appointments while they work on managing stress, addiction changes or coping with illness.
