Rachael Holden , NCPS

Rachael Holden offers a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to therapy that recognizes how challenging life transitions and painful experiences can be. She frames healing as a journey of self-discovery, supporting people to build the confidence to make their own decisions and regain a sense of control over daily life.

Working in a non-judgmental and empathic way, she collaborates with each person at a pace that feels manageable, helping to clarify therapy goals and priorities. Her practice emphasizes strengthening coping strategies to promote emotional resilience and improved wellbeing. Rachael uses a blend of talking therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and related mental health concerns.

Alongside therapeutic techniques, she encourages a positive mindset aimed at self-empowerment, believing that intentional shifts in thinking can support better experiences and lasting change. Prospective clients are invited to reach out with questions to learn more about how her approach may fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rachael combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor work to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space where clients set the pace and goals; it is useful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and working through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reframe thoughts and develop healthier habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that help clients notice present-moment experience and reduce reactivity, supporting emotional regulation and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will help adapt techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, ongoing support without requiring travel.
