Rachel Hoare, BACP

Rachel Hoare is a UK-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience working in both private practice and educational settings. She is BACP-registered - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings focused support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Rachel also attends to related issues such as self-harm and challenges commonly faced by young adults.

Her approach centers on creating a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. Rachel works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and practical ways to move toward greater motivation, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. She recognises that reaching out for help can be a courageous step and aims to offer steady, compassionate support throughout the therapeutic process.

Whether someone is navigating loss, coping with past trauma, or seeking to build self-esteem and resilience, Rachel combines established talking therapies with a warm, person-focused manner to help clients find new perspectives and workable strategies for living more fulfilling lives.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Support

Rachel draws on client-centered and solution-focused approaches to guide online work in a way that suits each person. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and genuine understanding - the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore feelings and values, which can be especially helpful for issues like grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Solution-Focused Therapy is more goal-oriented and practical - it concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and building on strengths to address stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Rachel works collaboratively with clients to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods as therapy progresses so that work remains relevant and focused on the outcomes the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or travel constraints, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Registered professionals can use these formats to deliver meaningful, effective therapeutic work tailored to each client.
