About Rachel
BACP counsellor with 13 years' experience working in UK mental health settings. Rachel Cannon focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a broad range of other concerns including gender dysphoria and sexuality. She uses several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to the person's situation.
Rachel draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside motivational interviewing and attachment-based perspectives. Sessions look at what is happening now and what might link back to earlier life events. She helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and thought processes that can make day-to-day life harder.
In practice Rachel listens first and aims to build a reliable working relationship. Conversations move between exploring current problems and reflecting on how past experiences shape responses. The pace is set by the person attending, with practical steps introduced when helpful.
She works with stresses that range from panic and social anxiety to chronic health concerns and caregiver strain. Rachel also addresses identity-related issues such as gender dysphoria and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Sexuality, intimacy and grief are included among the topics she supports people through.
Clients can expect a straightforward approach that combines reflective discussion with practical techniques. Sessions consider personal values and life goals alongside coping strategies. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. Online conversations can surface those patterns and help people try different ways of relating when they notice them. Client-centred work emphasises listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach supports people to clarify values, priorities and immediate goals during remote sessions. Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that suit the person's needs. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer. The practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the formats offered, which are not specified in the biography. Please confirm which session options are available before booking. In general, working remotely can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick session suits the day. It also allows people in different locations to work with the same registered or accredited professionals without moving.Sheet 3
