About Rachel
Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience working in therapeutic roles across the UK. Rachel has long worked in mental health settings and supports people facing anxiety, stress, depression and life changes. She aims to build a warm, encouraging relationship that helps people feel heard and understood.
Rachel offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what has brought them to therapy. She pays attention to both present-day stresses and earlier life experiences that still affect day-to-day life. Sessions are shaped around each person rather than following a fixed script.
Her background combines humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with elements of motivational and client-centred practice. That mix lets Rachel help people spot repeating patterns and make practical steps to change unhelpful habits. She also supports people dealing with grief, identity questions, addictions and complex stressors such as chronic illness.
Rachel has particular experience helping people with panic disorder and panic attacks alongside social anxiety, relationship difficulties and issues around sexuality and gender. She is comfortable working with concerns such as caregiver stress, midlife shifts and finding life purpose.
Clients can expect a reflective approach that invites curiosity about feelings and behaviour. Rachel aims to help people build clearer self-understanding and to find manageable ways to cope and move forward.
How Rachel's approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and feelings. In session this can mean gently looking at patterns in how someone relates to others and noticing how those habits affect stress and anxiety.Client-centred practice places the person's experience at the heart of therapy. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person's pace, which can help when dealing with anxiety, panic and questions about identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits best for each person. That choice will reflect the individual’s goals, everyday demands and what they find most helpful in conversation and reflection.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter travel time and simpler scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also allow for quieter check-ins when video is difficult, or a phone conversation when bandwidth is limited. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
