About Rachel Lockwood
Rachel Lockwood offers a calm, client-centered approach that places each person at the heart of the therapeutic process. She works integratively with individuals aged 12 and over and with couples aged 18 and over, adapting methods and pace to meet each person where they are and to foster a comfortable space for honest exploration. Rachel aims to build a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship that encourages clients to speak about things that may have felt unspoken until now.
Her background includes work across varied settings using multiple counselling models, such as systemic and psychodynamic approaches, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused techniques, narrative therapy, and psychosexual therapy. This range allows her to tailor sessions to the presenting issue, whether someone is managing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement, or sexual dysfunction. Rachel listens attentively and responds with empathy rather than judgment.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Rachel often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy concerns, or relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work; this approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another commonly used tool in her practice, focusing on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work evolves to ensure the most helpful fit. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and empowered throughout therapy.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, accessible care while tailoring session format to what works best for the client.
