About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief and anger, among other concerns.
Her day job in a corporate setting keeps her aware of workplace pressures and how they spill into home life. That everyday contact with employees shapes how she thinks about problems. She looks beyond immediate symptoms to the situations that trigger them.
Rachel describes an integrative approach. She mixes methods to suit the issue someone brings and the way they prefer to work. Conversations address what happens, when it happens and why, so people gain a clearer picture of their patterns.
Acceptance is one theme in her way of working - understanding and allowing feelings as a step toward managing them. She also uses practical techniques alongside reflective talk to help people change unhelpful habits and respond differently to stress.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on useful steps people can try between meetings. Rachel also supports those dealing with parenting strains, career pressures, intimacy concerns and family-of-origin problems. If someone is looking to reduce anger, she helps them identify triggers and practical strategies to respond differently.
How sessions work
How Rachel adapts ACT and CBT for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is useful for anxiety, anger and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and can help with intimacy and family issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to try based on their aims and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and practical, not prescriptive, so methods can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day, or avoid video if bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to help people practise skills between sessions and keep therapy integrated into everyday routines.
