How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Rachel works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common method involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving; this helps with anxiety, panic and social fears. Another method focuses on grief and loss by creating space to process what has happened and developing coping steps for hard days.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with each person, weigh up goals and preferences, and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps set aims and agree what to try between sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before you book, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits help people maintain regular contact and apply therapeutic steps between sessions.
