About Rachael
Rachael Foote offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting pressures and relationship strains. She also helps with grief, sleeping problems, self-esteem and career worries. Rachael recognises how hard it can feel to ask for help and how brave the first step is.
She speaks plainly and focuses on practical ways forward. Rachael draws on 13 years of experience working in mental health settings across the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions centre on the client’s priorities and what they want to change right now. Her work mixes talking with practical techniques.
She uses client-centred conversation to listen and understand. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are offered to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Rachael also uses motivational interviewing to support movement when change feels daunting.
Solution-focused ideas are used to set small, achievable goals and track progress. These methods are woven together to suit each person’s needs. Sessions are available in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Rachael works with a wide range of issues including body image, chronic illness, addiction, family problems and coping with life changes. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for busy lives.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Rachael uses Client-Centred Therapy to begin, which means she listens first and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, a practical way to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in, adjusting techniques and agreeing on small steps that feel manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to access regular support and to continue work between appointments.
