Rachel Cannon, BACP

Rachel Cannon is a BACP accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings extensive experience working across mental health settings. They have worked as an integrative therapist for more than ten years and have accumulated over twenty years of experience in mental health roles, enabling them to support people facing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma and abuse, loss, questions about sexuality and gender identity, and major life adjustments such as career change or the end of a relationship.

Rachel practices with a compassionate, encouraging and non-judgmental stance and places great importance on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for exploration and change. They draw on humanistic, psychodynamic and transpersonal traditions while also using elements of cognitive behavioural therapy where appropriate, tailoring the mix of approaches to each person and balancing focus between present-day issues and significant earlier life events.

Rachel encourages reflective work to help people find meaning in their experiences and to notice repeating patterns that may be affecting relationships and wellbeing. They take a positive view of individuality and seek to challenge the stigma that can surround seeking support. In choosing therapy with Rachel, people can expect an effort to create a warm, supportive space in which to work through the issues that have brought them to therapy.
