About Rachel

Rachel Challans is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional experience and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects recognized training and ethical standards. She works with people navigating relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns, helping them find clearer ways forward and greater emotional balance.

Rachel approaches each person as the expert of their own life, valuing the strengths clients already bring to therapy while offering guidance and support to meet difficult challenges. She understands that reaching out for help takes courage and that change often begins with a single step toward greater wellbeing. Her style centers on empowerment, collaboration, and practical support aimed at fostering safer, more satisfying relationships and improved self-understanding.

Clients seeking therapy with Rachel can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where goals are shaped around individual needs and values. She combines empathy with focused techniques to assist people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and other life transitions, always working to build resilience and sustainable change over time.

Attachment and trauma-informed care through online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. It helps people explore connection, trust, and attachment needs to improve relationship satisfaction and emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace, supporting self-discovery and personal growth across a wide range of concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the specific effects of traumatic experiences with targeted strategies to reduce distress and restore a sense of safety and agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her work over time, inviting feedback and jointly setting priorities so the plan reflects the client’s values and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional, reduce travel time, and allow people to continue care during life transitions or when in-person work is not feasible.
