About Rachel Kilburn

Rachel Kilburn is a qualified integrated therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy), with over 10 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents and children. As a mum and a wife, and as a daughter and granddaughter, she recognises how life can feel shaky and at times make people want to withdraw; she approaches therapy with that lived awareness and practical compassion.

Her work is integrative, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), solution-focused methods, Transactional Analysis and psychodynamic ideas to create a tailored plan for each person. She often works creatively with adults, adolescents and children so that feelings which are difficult to name can be expressed and explored, including aspects of the inner child in adult work.

Trust and a stable therapeutic relationship matter to her practice; the first session is seen as the start of that relationship and an opportunity to gather information that will guide the process. Rachel emphasises working at a pace that feels right for each person, walking alongside clients as they move through healing and growth.

She helps people relate differently to past events and make positive choices for the future. Areas she can support with include abuse, anxiety, autism spectrum concerns, bereavement, depression, health related issues, identity questions, LGBTQ+ matters, loss, redundancy, self-esteem, self-harm, sexuality, stress, trauma, women’s issues and work related problems.

Integrative approaches for online support

Rachel works with several well-established approaches that translate effectively to online formats. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work - it is useful for building self-understanding, confidence and coping strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, often helping with anxiety, depression and stress-related issues. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic events, supporting people to reduce distressing symptoms and reclaim day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Rachel discusses options with each person, considers their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers practical benefits - it provides flexibility to meet by video call or phone, or to work through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or other commitments, and to access support from different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
