Rachel Xuereb, BACP

Rachel Xuereb combines hands-on corporate leadership experience with a practice in integrative therapy, bringing a practical understanding of workplace and personal pressures to her work with clients. As a senior executive in a large corporate organisation she stays closely connected to the everyday challenges employees face at work and at home, and she uses that insight to shape therapy that fits each person’s life and goals.

Her integrative approach adapts to the needs of the individual, exploring root causes to clarify what, how, when and why particular difficulties appear. This process aims to build understanding and foster acceptance as steps toward resolution, with techniques chosen to suit each client’s style and preferences. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual or physical abuse, loss, career challenges, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties and confidence issues.

Rachel works with adults, children, couples, families, trainees and organisations and draws on multiple therapeutic models such as person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), existential, gestalt and creative approaches. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practises from the United Kingdom, offering tailored support rooted in real-world experience.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then identify values-based actions to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and trust, helping with relationship challenges, intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, empathetic relationship in which the therapist provides support and reflection to help the client find their own solutions, which is often helpful for self-esteem, confidence and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful progress together.
