About Rachel
Rachel Lockwood is a counsellor who places the person first. She aims to move at each client's pace and create a calm space to talk about difficult things. Rachel uses plain language in sessions and listens without judgement.
She draws on Systemic therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding how relationships and patterns shape day-to-day struggles. Rachel offers help for anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues with self-esteem.
Background and approach
With five years' experience and a BACP registration, Rachel has worked in a range of settings. She has supported people dealing with bereavement, chronic health challenges, parenting strain, and major life changes. She also helps with body image, codependency, and communication problems.
In the room she aims to be straightforward and warm. Conversations may explore past patterns, current habits, and small experiments to try between sessions. Some sessions use practical tools from cognitive behavioural ideas, while others follow a more narrative or reflective path.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged remotely. Rachel accepts international clients and works with adults seeking to understand their feelings and make changes. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to find a suitable session time.

Online support
Approaches and practical online therapy options
Rachel uses Systemic therapy to look at patterns between people and in daily life, helping clients see how relationships and routines influence feelings and behaviour. Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current trust, closeness and emotional safety, useful for worries about intimacy or repeated heartbreak. Client-centred counselling puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering a non-judgemental space where the client leads the topics and pace.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning may shift over time as priorities change and things improve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be quicker or use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
