About Rachel

Rachel Hamilton is a person-centred, integrative counsellor who helps people navigate difficult life experiences with patience and respect. She creates a non-judgmental space where clients are listened to and supported, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs and goals. Working in a largely non-directive way, Rachel supports people to explore their concerns at their own pace, helping them make sense of issues such as loss and bereavement, relationship problems, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, inner conflict, and low self-esteem.

Rachel’s practice emphasises collaboration and a compassionate presence, offering clients the chance to reflect, process, and find practical ways to cope. She draws on integrative, person-centred principles to adapt her approach according to what will best support each individual. In addition to her counselling work, Rachel has extensive volunteer experience with Victim Support Scotland and Healed Scars, where she supported people affected by emotional abuse, trauma, and domestic or sexual violence.

Rachel holds a COSCA-accredited Diploma in Counselling and a COSCA Certificate in Counselling - qualifications recognised in Scotland for counselling practice - and is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). She is also a member of Person Centred Therapy Scotland and the National Counselling Society, reflecting her ongoing engagement with professional standards and peer networks.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on meeting people with empathy and acceptance, offering a supportive space where the client’s experiences and values guide the work. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and making sense of major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections; it can be especially useful for those struggling with intimacy, separation, or repeated relationship conflicts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and teaches ways to move toward a life guided by personal values - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds. This teamwork helps ensure the therapy is relevant and practical for the individual.

Online therapy with Rachel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments. These options make accessing a licensed professional easier from different locations and life stages, while still allowing a consistent therapeutic relationship and regular support.
