Rachel Xuereb, BACP

Rachel Xuereb is a senior executive in a large corporate organisation who also works as an integrative therapist, bringing seven years of practical experience to her therapeutic practice. Her day-to-day role in a busy workplace keeps her connected to the pressures people face both at work and at home, and she uses that perspective to inform a reflective, adaptable approach to therapy.

She tailors interventions to the specific issues a person presents, exploring the underlying patterns that explain what, how, when and why difficulties arise. That process aims to build understanding and acceptance, then move toward practical steps for resolution in a way that matches each individual’s style and circumstances. Rachel’s integrative practice draws on a range of methods, including person-centred listening, psychodynamic exploration, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential reflection, Gestalt work and creative interventions.

She offers support for anxiety, depression, trauma and loss, sexual and physical abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, career challenges and suicidal thoughts, as well as confidence and self-esteem work. Rachel works with adults, children, couples, families, trainees and organisations, and she incorporates coaching strategies where helpful to support real-world change. She holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and navigating major life changes by focusing on practical steps toward a meaningful life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating, emotion regulation and intimacy. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and patterns rooted in family of origin issues.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and a non-directive stance that supports people to find their own solutions. It is well suited to building self-esteem, clarifying priorities and working through uncertainty by creating a respectful, collaborative space.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rachel will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure a good match.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options can increase flexibility, help maintain continuity between appointments and allow people to access support from wherever they are within the United Kingdom, guided by registered professionals and therapists.
