Rachel Florence , BACP

Rachel Florence is a psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people who are recovering from childhood trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD, and she brings notable experience in working with men and autistic clients.

Rachel combines EMDR with talking therapy to create a tailored plan that reflects each person’s needs. Her work is flexible and client-centered - she prioritizes the whole person rather than only the presenting problem. This approach supports exploration of relationships, attachment patterns, and the emotional impact of past events while allowing practical coping strategies to emerge.

She holds the BACP credential, which refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and integrates evidence-informed EMDR techniques alongside relational and client-centered methods. Rachel aims to offer a respectful, collaborative space where trauma processing and everyday challenges can be addressed together according to what best supports recovery and personal goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rachel blends EMDR with client-centered and attachment-based methods to support healing in an online setting. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact; it can help people who struggle with PTSD, complex trauma, or distressing memories. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore feelings and goals at their own pace; it is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficult life transitions.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns in close connections and can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related distress. Rachel approaches therapy as a collaborative process - she and each client will consider which methods seem most helpful, refining the approach over time to match needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps people maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments, making it easier to engage in ongoing therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists.
