About Rachel

Rachel Florence is a psychotherapist with three years of clinical experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Rachel focuses on helping people who are struggling with trauma, relationships and life changes.

Her work often supports those coping with anxiety, depression and stress. She also helps people facing grief, sleep difficulties, addiction and challenges around intimacy or self‑esteem. Rachel pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns and relationships.

Background and approach

Rachel combines talking therapy with eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, depending on what a person needs. She adapts her style to the person in front of her and aims to make sessions practical and understandable. Expectations and next steps are talked through together.

Her approach is rooted in attachment‑based ideas and emotionally focused work, with an emphasis on the person’s own pace and priorities. Sessions are collaborative and orientated toward clearer thinking and calmer responses to stressors. Rachel offers sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom.

She provides a range of online formats so people can choose what fits their day and their way of working. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships affect today's feelings and reactions. Online, this helps people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and shifting distressing emotions in the moment to improve connection with oneself and others. It is useful for people who want clearer emotional understanding and calmer responses. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing uses guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. It can be helpful for those struggling with past events that still feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss different methods and help a person decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process so changes can be made as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video calls allow a face‑to‑face style conversation, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check‑ins, reflection between sessions and flexible contact around a busy schedule. These options make therapy easier to fit around work and family commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
