Rachel Xuereb , BACP

Rachel Xuereb is an Integrative Therapist who also works as a senior executive in a corporate company, giving her a practical understanding of the pressures people face both at work and at home. Her professional experience in a busy organisational setting informs a grounded approach to therapy, helping clients navigate the overlap between workplace demands and personal life.

Her therapeutic style is adaptable and rooted in exploring underlying causes - what, how, when and why particular concerns appear. She works collaboratively to develop an understanding that can lead to acceptance and then to actionable steps toward resolution, tailoring methods to each person’s preferred way of working. Rachel focuses on connecting insight with practical change so therapy fits the client’s life and strengths.

Rachel can help with a range of presenting issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual and physical abuse, loss, career challenges, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties and confidence. She works with adults, children, couples, families, trainees and organisations, offering support across individual and systemic concerns in ways that reflect each client’s needs and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rachel integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her work, selecting approaches that suit each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotions, helping with relationship problems, intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that places the client’s experience at the center of the process - it supports self-esteem, coping with life changes and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, preferences and presenting concerns, and she adapts strategies as the work evolves.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family and other commitments and allow therapists and clients to focus on progress without logistical strain.
