About Rachel

Counsellor Rachel Nash is BACP registered and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Rachel’s profile explains what counselling can offer and how she approaches the work.

Rachel uses an integrative way of working. That means she draws on several different theories and techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what the client wants to address. She aims to help people understand themselves better and cope with day-to-day pressures.

The biography notes experience with self-harm and eating disorders, and with issues such as suicidal thoughts, body image and bereavement. Rachel describes counselling as a place to talk through difficult feelings and to look at patterns that get in the way. She keeps language direct and practical during sessions.

People who choose Rachel can expect short, clear conversations about what to try next. She will usually work through ideas and small steps rather than lengthy theory. Sessions are guided by what the client brings and what they want to change or understand.

For someone worried about beginning therapy, Rachel’s approach is straightforward. She asks questions, listens to the answers, and proposes techniques that match the person’s situation. Where helpful, she blends different methods to suit the issue at hand and the client’s preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Rachel describes her work as integrative and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit different problems. One common approach is a talking-based method that helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. This can be useful for anxiety and low mood because it focuses on practical ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.

She also uses methods that concentrate on feelings and relationships to help with grief and body-image concerns. These approaches help people name emotions, understand how they affect behaviour, and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with the client and choose techniques together based on needs, goals and personal preference. The process is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

If you are considering sessions online, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow quieter check-ins when that helps. It can also make it simpler to have a shorter or more flexible appointment when life is busy.
