Rachel Cannon

Rachel Cannon is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of clinical experience. Rachel has worked across mental health settings for over twenty years and helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and life changes. They aim to offer a calm, encouraging space where individuals can start to make sense of difficult feelings and reactions.

Rachel uses a blend of humanistic and psychodynamic ideas alongside practical tools when helpful. Sessions often look at what is happening now and how earlier experiences continue to affect mood and relationships. The work is shaped around each person's priorities rather than a fixed programme.

Practical concerns such as stress, anger and coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain are part of the focus. Rachel also supports people dealing with sexuality and gender questions, grief, workplace stress and career transitions. Discussions may include how patterns of relating and self-esteem affect day-to-day life.

The style is warm and non-judgemental. Rachel encourages reflection and helps clients notice repeating patterns that can be changed. Conversations aim to be direct but compassionate, balancing understanding with gentle challenge.

People who come to Rachel often want to explore long-standing patterns as well as find practical ways to manage current problems. The approach combines attentiveness to personal history with steps to improve coping and emotional balance.

How Rachel's approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect feelings and current connections. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, trust and anger that show up in relationships.

Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a trusting space to talk things through and build self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Rachel will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps most. The choice of methods is tailored to each person rather than fixed from the start.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during work breaks. It also allows continuing work if someone moves location or is living abroad, though practical arrangements should be confirmed before booking.
