Rachel (Rae) Barker-Moore, BACP

Rachel (Rae) Barker-Moore is a credentialed integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling - integrative theory and practice and is affiliated with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With five years of professional experience in the mental health field, she continues to build her knowledge through ongoing training and adapts a combination of therapeutic techniques to meet each client’s individual needs. Her integrative, client-centred style means interventions are tailored to the person rather than following a fixed model, drawing on evidence-based methods to address presenting concerns.

Rachel has supported people facing a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional abuse, trauma, disabilities, menopause, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ related concerns. She also works with clients on coping strategies for life changes that affect identity and functioning. Recognising the courage it takes to seek help, she offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space and approaches the therapeutic relationship with authenticity and empathy. Rachel emphasises clients’ strengths and collaborates to support empowerment, personal growth, and increased self-awareness.

Integrative approaches for online therapy and practical support

Rachel uses integrative counselling to combine techniques from different therapeutic models into a unified plan that fits each person’s circumstances and goals. This flexible approach allows the therapist to draw on a range of evidence-based strategies to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and identity-related challenges.

She also works in a client-centred way, prioritising the person’s own experience and pace. This approach focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore their values, strengths, and personal meaning as part of the change process.

In addition, Rachel incorporates skills-based coping strategies to help clients manage symptoms and navigate life changes, teaching practical tools that can support emotional regulation, problem-solving, and day-to-day functioning.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure the approach feels relevant and workable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to access therapy from home or while travelling, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
