About Rachel

Rachel Kilburn is a qualified integrative therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) with more than 10 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and children across a wide range of challenges. She draws on an integrative framework that brings together approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused work, Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic therapy so that each plan can be tailored to the individual needs of the person in therapy.

As a mother, partner, daughter and granddaughter, Rachel understands how life can feel unsettled and how that can lead people to withdraw. She recognises the courage it takes to reach out and the decision to reconnect with life. Her practice values a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where clients can express emotions that are often kept inside, including accessing creative methods that can help adults and young people give voice to their inner experience.

Rachel supports people through issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, and also offers coaching to explore life purpose and practical goals. The first session is treated as the start of a collaborative journey - a chance to gather information, set a pace that feels right, and agree steps forward. Over time Rachel helps clients relate differently to past events and make decisions that support a more confident and meaningful life.

Approaches and practical benefits of online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding and gain confidence to make personal changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT is a practical, problem-focused approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and works on specific strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related issues. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationships influence current patterns, helping people develop insight into recurring difficulties and new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She combines methods when appropriate and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments. For many people this flexibility improves consistency of attendance and allows therapists and registered professionals to maintain continuity of care across different locations and time zones.
