Practical, compassionate counselling for everyday struggles
Book with RachelAbout Rachel
Rachel Blythe is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings three years of professional experience to her work. Rachel aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those coping with grief and loss. Rachel also works with concerns linked to self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Her profile notes experience with LGBT issues and with compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Rachel adapts conversations and care to each person. She explains options and helps set practical goals that fit everyday life. Rachel emphasises kindness and sensitivity in sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Her background includes work with obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders and longer-term mental health difficulties. That experience informs a steady, problem-solving style that balances practical steps with emotional support. People who prefer straightforward planning alongside listening may find her approach helpful.
Rachel invites prospective clients to describe what they hope to change, so she can shape a plan that suits their needs and pace.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rachel works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional understanding. Cognitive approaches help people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts, then try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Grief-focused work gives space to name losses and to build routines and grounding strategies that ease day-to-day distress.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, agree goals and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that changes as needs and progress evolve.
Clients should check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that avoid video if that feels easier. Confirm the specific session options and scheduling details during the matching and booking steps.
