Rachael Foote , BACP

Rachael Foote is a UK-licensed counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She has worked across different settings, assisting individuals with depression, stress, anxiety, overcoming addictions, processing trauma and abuse, eating disorders, and coping with a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Rachael approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert on their own story and already carries strengths that can be used to address what feels overwhelming. She emphasizes the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and sees the therapeutic relationship as a place to offer support and practical empowerment as clients make changes.

In addition to her clinical experience, Rachael holds a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects involvement with the main professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. Her work focuses on helping people build on their existing resources and take the first steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rachael uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective and personal strengths guide the work. This approach helps people who need time to explore their experiences and build self-understanding.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. CBT is often helpful for those looking for structured strategies to cope with specific problems.

Motivational interviewing is used when clients are facing ambivalence about change, including work on addictions or lifestyle shifts. This approach helps people find their own motivation and commit to next steps in a way that feels achievable.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachael collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with the client to adapt techniques over time so the therapy remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy with Rachael is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, helping clients fit therapy into busy or complex lives.
