Rachel Harris , BACP

Rachel Harris is a qualified therapist practising in the United Kingdom who is committed to helping people navigate life’s difficulties. With several years of professional experience in mental health and wellbeing, she focuses her work on anxiety, stress, trauma, bereavement and recovery from abuse. Rachel approaches therapy as more than a place to talk about problems - she aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports clients in finding new ways to manage challenges, heal past wounds and make meaningful change.

Rachel has found it a privilege to support many people through the emotional effects of relationship strain, loss, anxiety and trauma, and she brings a clear passion for that work. She believes therapy can reconnect people with their strengths and help them move toward a more fulfilling life. Clients often report that her warmth and empathy make the counselling process feel approachable and supportive. Rachel offers a caring, attuned presence for those who may need someone to believe in them when they struggle to believe in themselves.

She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works according to its ethical framework and professional code of conduct.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting issue and the individual. For anxiety and stress she offers skills-focused work that helps clients learn practical strategies to manage symptoms and respond differently to worry and overwhelm. For trauma and abuse she adopts trauma-informed methods that support clients to process painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable, helping reduce the ongoing impact of those events. For relationship and attachment difficulties she draws on relational approaches that explore patterns in connection and communication to improve understanding and repair strained relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each client to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she adapts her methods over time so therapy fits the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with Rachel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or work, reduce travel time, and allow consistent support even when life is busy or circumstances change.
