About Rachel

Rachel Hamilton offers a calm, person-centred approach to counselling, helping people take the often-difficult first steps toward feeling more settled. She works in an integrative, non-directive way that aims to create a comfortable, non-judgmental space where people can explore their concerns at their own pace. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals so that conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and support their process of change.

Rachel has experience supporting people through major life changes such as loss and bereavement, and she works with relationship difficulties as well as trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, inner conflict and low self-esteem. Through volunteer roles with Victim Support Scotland and Healed Scars, she has developed practice supporting those affected by emotional abuse, trauma, domestic violence and sexual violence.

Her training includes a COSCA-accredited Diploma in Counselling and a COSCA Certificate in Counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) and is also a member of Person Centred Therapy Scotland and the National Counselling Society. These qualifications inform her person-centred, client-focused work and guide how she supports people through change.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on providing an empathic, accepting space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. This approach helps with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating major life changes by prioritising the client’s own goals and pace.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and develop practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, depression and coping with ongoing difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It can be especially helpful for those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues and relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. Rachel will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences and may blend elements from different approaches to suit the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This makes it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals regardless of where someone is located, while preserving the collaborative, tailored nature of the work.
