About Rachael Hough

Rachael Hough is a UK-based therapist with three years of clinical experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She has worked with two mental health charities, gaining experience supporting individuals with complex presentations including PTSD, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, abuse, and bereavement. Rachael approaches therapy with respect for each person’s individuality, avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions and instead collaborating with clients to help them discover their own answers and practical ways forward. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional membership and adherence to recognised standards in counselling practice.

Rachael aims to make the therapeutic process accessible and manageable, helping people who feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to begin. Rather than offering direct advice, she works together with clients to explore what feels right for them and to identify what normal means in their life. Her background in charity work and experience with a broad range of mental health concerns inform a compassionate, person-centred style that prioritises understanding, safety, and collaboration.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can help them. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions - online therapy is often comparable to traditional in-person work and can be an effective way to engage with therapeutic support.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support from different locations.

Licensed professionals offer these options, and clients can change therapists if they feel another fit would be better. For many, remote therapy provides a practical, accessible route to consistent therapeutic work with qualified therapists.
