About Rachel
Rachel Florence is a counsellor who focuses on helping people recover from past hurts and manage current stresses. She holds BACP registration and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. Rachel aims to create a calm space where people can talk about painful memories, relationship struggles, or daily overwhelm.
She offers short-term and longer-term support for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and sleep problems. Rachel also works with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment, body image and communication.
Background and approach
Her approach looks at how emotions and bodily sensations connect to life events and relationships. In sessions she listens closely and follows each person’s pace. She combines talking-based work with attention to physical responses in the body to help people feel more grounded.
Rachel adapts her style to what the person needs in the moment rather than using one fixed method. Her practice can be helpful for someone coping with trauma, intimacy difficulties, career stress or caregiver strain. She supports people through separation, anger, dissociation and eating-related worries.
Many find it useful to explore both feelings and bodily reactions together. Rachel offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How Rachel uses different approaches online
Somatic Therapy pays attention to the body and the sensations that come with emotions. It can help people notice where stress or trauma shows up physically and learn simple ways to calm those sensations. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current connections and trust.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist offers listening and gentle reflection rather than telling people what to do. Together these approaches can be used to address grief, relationship issues, anxiety and reactions to past trauma in a way that feels grounded and humane.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods feel most helpful. She adapts the mix of body-focused work and talking methods to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier access. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat and text messaging provide quieter or more flexible ways to communicate. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on progress and comfort.
