Rachael Holden , NCPS

Rachael Holden approaches therapy with an emphasis on compassion and practical growth, recognising that reaching out for support is a courageous first move. She frames healing as a journey of self-discovery in which clients can build confidence to make choices that align with their values and goals.

She specialises in trauma-informed therapy and supports people experiencing anxiety, depression and a range of other mental health challenges. Rachael provides a non-judgmental, empathic environment and works at each client's pace to clarify therapy goals and create a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Her work focuses on strengthening coping skills and emotional resilience to improve day-to-day wellbeing. Rachael uses talking therapy alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help clients notice thought patterns, develop practical strategies and build more helpful responses to stress. She holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training and standards in her clinical practice.

Rachael complements therapeutic techniques with a positive, empowerment-oriented outlook that encourages hopeful, constructive thinking as part of broader change. She welcomes messages from prospective clients with questions and is available to discuss whether her approach may be a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Rachael Holden

Rachael integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace - it is especially useful for building self-understanding and confidence when facing life transitions or relational issues.

CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings and support emotional regulation, particularly after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachael collaborates with each client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, support ongoing work between sessions and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care to clients both locally and internationally.
