Rachel Xuereb , BACP

Rachel Xuereb is a senior executive in a large corporate organisation who brings seven years of therapeutic experience to an integrative practice. Her professional role keeps her directly exposed to the pressures people encounter at work and at home, and she draws on that insight when supporting clients. Rachel adapts her approach to fit the challenge presented, exploring root causes and examining what, how, when and why patterns of difficulty appear, with the aim of building understanding and developing acceptance as a pathway toward resolution that suits each person's style.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, sleep problems, parenting and family issues, intimacy-related concerns, career and workplace challenges, anger, and coping with major life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, family of origin difficulties, and fatherhood issues. Rachel supports adults, children, couples, families, trainees, and organisations.

Rachel holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her integrative orientation draws on client-centred principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential perspectives and attachment-focused understanding, allowing her to tailor methods to match each client's goals and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that align with their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and situations where avoidance has become limiting.

Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships shape current patterns of relating - for example around trust, intimacy, abandonment and communication - and works to build more secure ways of connecting with others.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard, supporting clients to explore their experience and find their own solutions; it can be especially useful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Rachel will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process makes it possible to adjust techniques over time as new insights and challenges arise.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from wherever the client is located in the United Kingdom. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for starting and sustaining therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists.
