About Rachel

Rachel Lockwood is a counsellor who places each person at the centre of the therapeutic process, working at a pace that suits the individual. She practices in an integrative way and supports individuals aged 12 and over as well as couples aged 18 and over, aiming to create a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where people can feel comfortable to be themselves and speak about things that feel difficult to voice.

Rachel draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, tailoring her methods to the needs of each client. She has experience addressing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, bipolar-related concerns, and a wide range of life transitions and coping issues.

As a member of the BACP, Rachel aligns with the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She is described as a genuine and empathic practitioner who values the privilege of being part of people’s therapeutic journeys. Rachel welcomes enquiries from those who feel she might be able to help and offers a listening, non-judgemental space to begin the work together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence present-day patterns of relating. It helps people understand attachment styles and how those patterns affect intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers empathy and acceptance. This approach supports self-exploration and can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, problem-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with daily challenges.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with clients to explore their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods as the work evolves so the therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and shorter or more frequent contacts can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access support from different locations, balance therapy with work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geographical barriers.
