Hi, I'm Rachel and I have been working as an Integrative Counsellor for over a decade, mainly within the charitable sector.  I am also a qualified Person Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression Practitioner, which means I can also work as counsellor for the NHS.

I strongly believe in offering a therapeutic approach to suit the individual person, taking into account physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs.  This means I use tools and techniques from different modalities to tailor an individual approach for my clients. 

My current NHS work offers me broad experience and understanding of situations and circumstances that impact self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing.  Whilst my background in the charitable sector has given me insight into the issues affecting families with young children.  This includes working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and breakdown, domestic abuse, disabilities, childhood trauma, addictions, isolation and bereavement.

I offer a confidential space, where I aim to build a trusting and non-judgemental relationship with you.

Together, I hope we can explore how you feel and understand things from your point of view. This may include, but isn't limited to,  developing self-awareness, building self-esteem, finding different ways to approach situations, understanding relationships with others, and managing difficult thoughts & emotions. 

If you would like to find out more, I invite you to arrange an introductory phone call for 15 minutes, free of charge, during which I would be pleased to gain an understanding of what you are seeking from therapy, and for us to decide if we would like to work together.

We will then arrange an ongoing, weekly appointment, either face-to-face or online, at a time convenient to both of us, for either short-term or long-term therapy.
