She also works with challenges related to life changes and the development of practical coping strategies.

Rachel values compassion, empathy, and authenticity within the therapeutic relationship and approaches each person with non-judgmental support.

Her role is to support and empower people as they explore past and present experiences and work toward greater self-awareness and wellbeing.

Integrative Approaches and Online Support

Rachel (Rae) Barker-Moore uses an integrative counselling approach, which combines elements from different evidence-based techniques to meet each person's unique needs. This approach allows for flexibility in addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adjustment to life changes by drawing on methods that best suit the individual.

She also works in a client-centred way, focusing on the person's experience and strengths while offering empathy and non-judgmental support. This style helps people explore their values, build self-awareness, and develop practical coping strategies for issues like stress, grief, and identity-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Rachel will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, and provide multiple ways for people to engage in therapy that suit their comfort and lifestyle.
