Rachel Hoare, BACP

Rachel Hoare is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience working in both private practice and educational settings. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and depression, and she also focuses on self-harm and issues common to young adults. Rachel emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and begin to build practical strategies for change.

Holding BACP credentials, Rachel is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, encouraging small, achievable steps alongside deeper emotional work. Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing often requires courage, and Rachel offers steady support and clear guidance throughout that process. Her approach is aimed at helping clients gain insight, strengthen resilience, and move toward a more satisfying, balanced life.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Support

Rachel uses client-centered therapy to place the person and their experience at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and collaborative reflection so clients can explore feelings, values, and goals at their own pace. This approach is useful for processing emotional pain and building self-understanding.

She also employs solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying practical steps and resources that move a person toward positive change. This short-term, goal-oriented method helps when someone wants to address specific problems like stress, motivation, or confidence with clear, achievable actions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Rachel works together with each client to decide which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts sessions as those needs evolve to remain collaborative and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to connect from home. These options allow registered professionals and therapists to offer consistent support while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
