About Rachel
Rachel Kilburn is a therapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in therapeutic roles for 10 years and draws on her life as a mother and family member to understand how everyday pressures can make life feel shaky. Rachel aims to help people who are ready to make changes and feel more like themselves again.
She uses an integrative approach that blends several therapies so sessions fit each person. That means Rachel may draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts, psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, or solution-focused steps to build practical changes. The work can include creative methods for adults, adolescents and children to express things that are hard to say.
Rachel places emphasis on building trust and working at a pace that suits the individual. Early sessions focus on gathering the information that will shape ongoing work and on creating a calm space to talk about what matters most. She encourages people to relate differently to painful events and to make decisions that support their future wellbeing.
Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, stress, grief, depression, trauma and issues around self-esteem and life changes. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the areas she supports, alongside workplace and women's issues. Rachel describes her role as walking alongside people through change and helping them find greater confidence in their lives.
Working online with integrative and practical approaches
Rachel often uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns that feed anxiety and panic. CBT offers step-by-step techniques for noticing triggers and testing unhelpful beliefs, which can help reduce the intensity of symptoms over time.She also draws on client-centred principles that focus on listening and understanding each person's experience. This approach gives space for someone to talk through what matters most and to shape goals at a comfortable pace. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at recurring patterns that started earlier in life and keep showing up now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, personal preferences and what feels most useful, then tries methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what practical arrangements will help sessions work well for you.
