About Rachael
Rachael Foote is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of counselling and mental health experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and anger. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting pressures, and career strain.
Rachael writes that she sees clients who are managing long-term illness, chronic pain, cancer, or changes that come with a health diagnosis. She also supports people facing feelings of shame, guilt, isolation or jealousy, and those reshaping life purpose after big changes. Her practice includes work with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach begins from the view that the client is the expert on their own life. She uses client-centred conversations to understand the person and their goals. Rachael draws on practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused techniques to identify patterns and try different ways of responding.
Motivational interviewing features where change feels difficult, such as with substance use or entrenched habits. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-aware, with short-term strategies and longer-term reflections mixed as needed. The focus is on what can be changed now and small steps that fit into everyday life.
Rachael works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
How Rachael uses practical approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps clarify personal goals and builds on strengths the client already has. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tests small changes to reduce distress and improve daily coping. It is often used for anxiety, anger and low mood. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about making changes, such as with substance use or lifestyle habits, by exploring ambivalence and increasing readiness for action.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will help the client decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift or new priorities appear.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let the therapist and client continue work through life changes without needing to rearrange plans. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors commonly use these formats to maintain continuity of care.
