Rachael Foote, BACP

Rachael Foote is a counsellor with 13 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, and specific worries such as jealousy and self-esteem. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building practical steps forward.

Rachael works in a straightforward, respectful way. She listens first, then helps people spot strengths they can use. Conversations are aimed at small, achievable changes rather than abstract theory. Many clients find this helps them regain control after difficult events or long-term struggles.

She draws on client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques to notice patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to set clear goals and keep momentum. These approaches are chosen to fit the person and the issue rather than as a fixed package.

Rachael has experience across health and community settings in the United Kingdom, including supporting people through cancer, chronic illness, and addiction recovery. Her BACP registration is listed in her credentials as provided. She offers practical support for everyday problems like sleep, parenting pressures and career stress.

People usually start by saying what feels hardest right now. Rachael then helps plan small steps and checks progress together. If you want to explore how jealousy, life changes or long-term anxiety are affecting you, she offers a steady, non-judgemental space to work through those concerns.

Practical therapy methods for online support

Rachael uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building on the person's own resources to find solutions. It helps when someone needs a calm space to be heard and to notice personal strengths.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and actions and replace them with more helpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and some relationship worries, because it sets clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachael will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then shape sessions around what helps most. That choice is collaborative and can change as issues shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a lunch break, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is tight. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you book so sessions suit your routine and needs.
