About Rachel

Rachel Wright is a counsellor with 13 years' experience who helps people manage anger and related struggles. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and also supports those dealing with grief, addiction and self-esteem problems. She speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Rachel uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people understand what fuels their anger and what might calm it. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to develop coping skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and next steps. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes rather than big, sudden fixes. Her background includes many years in mental health settings and work with complex cases and relationship challenges. Rachel has also worked remotely and offers telephone and virtual therapy. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears as BACP. People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Rachel helps clients set practical goals, try out new strategies between meetings, and review what works. She aims to make therapy feel useful from the first few sessions. To begin, the site matching process asks a few questions and then allows scheduling according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist allocation.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online work

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours that reduce anger and anxiety. CBT sessions usually involve practical exercises and short tasks to practise between meetings.

She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques that teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clear communication. These skills can help when anger spikes or relationships become strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to emphasise. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Her biography notes experience with telephone and virtual therapy, so online work has been part of her practice. If you prefer a particular session format, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend around work and family commitments.
