About Rachel
Rachel Xuereb is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, trauma and career pressures. Rachel uses straightforward conversation to help clients understand what is happening and to find ways forward that suit their life and values.
Her style is adaptable and reflective. She aims to understand when and why problems appear, and to look at root causes rather than only surface symptoms.
Background and approach
That understanding is used to move towards acceptance and practical change at a pace the person prefers. Rachel draws on several approaches to match the problem and the person. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based ideas when past relationships shape current worries.
Existential themes are part of her work when people question meaning, purpose or direction in life. Clients can expect a conversational, person-centred tone. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving sleep, managing anxiety, resolving communication problems, or coping with life transitions.
She also supports parenting concerns, workplace stress, intimacy-related issues and body image worries. With seven years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Rachel combines practical tools with reflective discussion. She offers online formats suitable for busy schedules and people who prefer different ways of meeting.

Online support
How Rachel’s approaches work in online therapy
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help when people feel stuck, empty or unsure about life direction and want to talk through values and purpose in a practical way.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and behaviour change. It helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems to understand their relational habits and try new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process may use one approach or blend several methods to fit the issue and the person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have full conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to reflect in writing between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy lives.
