Rachel Button, BACP

Rachel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving; this can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Another approach focuses on processing past hurt and trauma by creating a safer way to tell difficult stories and learn new ways of relating to oneself and others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan if something does not feel like a good fit.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or for people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limitations while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
