About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of practice as a therapist and over 20 years working in mental health settings. Rachel works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, grief, anger and a wide range of life changes. She also supports those dealing with issues around sexuality, gender identity and long-term health problems.
Rachel uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapy traditions. In sessions she focuses on building a steady, reliable relationship so people can talk through what has brought them to therapy. She balances shorter-term practical work with looking at patterns from earlier life that still affect day-to-day feelings and reactions.
Her style is direct and exploratory. Clients can expect to reflect on current behaviours and on repeating patterns that shape how they respond to stress, conflict and intimacy. Motivational interviewing techniques can be used to help with behaviour change and with decisions around addiction or career moves.
Rachel pays attention to how attachment and past relationships influence present reactions, including anger and difficulties in close connections. Psychodynamic ideas are used to make sense of recurring emotional themes and to understand underlying drivers of mood and relationship strain.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Rachel commonly uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred methods in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people react to stress and conflict, helping to understand persistent anger or difficulty trusting others. Client-centred work focuses on the person in front of her, listening and reflecting so people can find their own understanding and decide on next steps.She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when someone wants to alter behaviours such as substance use or coping habits. That approach uses focused conversation to clarify goals, ambivalence and practical steps toward a change the person chooses.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method. This means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting focus over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can make it easier to arrange a shorter check-in during a work break, avoid travel time, or take part when juggling health or caregiving demands. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session pacing and focus to work well in an online setting.
