About Rachel

Rachel Hamilton is an integrative, person-centred counsellor who helps people navigate major life changes and everyday struggles by creating a calm, non-judgmental space to talk. She works in a collaborative, non-directive way, meeting clients at their own pace and tailoring sessions to individual needs and goals. Her approach is grounded in listening closely and supporting clients as they make sense of issues such as loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

Rachel draws on experience gained through volunteer work with Victim Support Scotland and Healed Scars, where she supported people affected by emotional abuse, trauma, domestic violence and sexual violence. That background informs her work with clients facing complex emotional and interpersonal challenges, including grief, intimacy concerns and coping with life transitions.

She holds COSCA-accredited counselling qualifications, demonstrating formal training in counselling, and she is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapist (MBACP). Rachel is also a member of Person Centred Therapy Scotland and the National Counselling Society, reflecting her commitment to ongoing professional development and ethical practice. Her style is warm, patient and supportive, with an emphasis on helping clients find clarity and practical ways forward.

Online therapeutic approaches and practical support

Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive stance where the therapist offers acceptance and understanding so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach is helpful for people working through self-esteem issues, relationship concerns and the emotional impact of life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress and sleep or eating difficulties by teaching concrete skills for coping and problem solving.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust, and it can support people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns or trauma related to relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel will work collaboratively with each client to explore which methods align best with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations and for those who prefer different ways of communicating, while still allowing licensed professionals to provide structured support and practical tools.
