Rachel Cannon

Rachel Cannon is a BACP accredited integrative therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She has also worked within mental health settings during her career.

She has supported people presenting with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, career or role changes, and questions about sexuality and gender identity. She also works with people experiencing compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, self-esteem difficulties and other life adjustments.

Rachel works in a compassionate, encouraging and non-judgmental way, believing that a strong therapeutic relationship is the necessary foundation for exploring the issues that bring people to therapy and for enabling change. She takes a positive approach to individuality and aims to challenge the stigma often encountered by those seeking help.

Her training drew on humanistic, psychodynamic and transpersonal therapy traditions alongside a working knowledge of cognitive behavioural therapy, and she applies a tailored blend of these approaches according to each person’s needs - balancing focus on the here-and-now with exploration of significant earlier life events. She encourages reflective work to gain meaning from experience and to increase awareness of repeating patterns that may be affecting relationships and well-being.

Thank you for reading her profile. Seeking help is a brave step, and if someone chooses to work with Rachel she will endeavour to provide a warm, safe and supportive space.
