Rachel Harris, BACP

Rachel Harris is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She specialises in stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and ADHD, alongside related issues such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, and workplace or financial concerns. Rachel approaches therapy as a collaborative process that goes beyond talking about problems - she aims to build a trusting, attuned relationship that helps clients explore patterns, develop new coping strategies, and work toward emotional healing and meaningful change.

Her practice places particular emphasis on the emotional impact of relationship breakdowns, loss, and traumatic experiences, offering a steady, empathetic presence for those navigating these challenges. Clients often note her warmth and empathy, which can make the counselling process feel more approachable and supportive. Rachel views therapy as an opportunity to reconnect with inner strengths and to make practical, sustainable shifts in day-to-day life.

She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works in line with their ethical framework and code of conduct.

Evidence-based approaches and accessible online support

Rachel works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping strategies - these help people identify unhelpful patterns, develop stress and anxiety management skills, and build routines that support daily functioning. Such techniques are useful for issues like anxiety, low mood, and difficulty managing life changes.

She also offers trauma-informed care that attends to the impacts of loss, abuse, and overwhelming experiences, providing paced support to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on everyday life. Additionally, Rachel addresses relationship and attachment concerns by exploring relational patterns, communication challenges, and family dynamics to improve connection and understanding.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which evidence-based techniques are the best fit. This partnership helps shape sessions that feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access care from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
