Rachel Florence , BACP

Rachel Florence is a psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner based in the United Kingdom who brings three years of clinical experience to her work with people affected by childhood trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD. She combines trauma-focused EMDR with talking therapy to tailor care to each person - prioritising a flexible, person-centered approach that attends to the whole individual rather than a single symptom.

Rachel has developed particular experience supporting men and autistic clients, and she works across a broad range of concerns including relationship difficulties, grief and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, stress and anxiety, addictions, family and caregiver stress, anger, self-esteem, career matters, depression and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication challenges, dissociation, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, and separation and divorce.

She holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Rachel aims to work collaboratively with each person to identify which therapeutic methods best support their goals and circumstances.

Online Delivery of EMDR, Attachment-Based and Person-Centered Care

Rachel offers therapeutic approaches that translate well to online formats. EMDR is a structured intervention used to process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories - it combines focused attention on distressing experiences with guided bi-lateral stimulation and is often used for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-directive relationship that helps people explore feelings and build self-understanding - it is useful for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression and self-esteem. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships to help address difficulties with intimacy, trust and relational regulation, and can be especially helpful for abandonment and attachment issues.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, and she adapts methods over time to find the best fit. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual's circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support is also available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family commitments and mobility limitations, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support across different settings.
