About me and my therapy practice

I’m Rachel and I’m a fully qualified Person-centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and Registered Member of the BACP. As a person-centred therapist I will offer you a therapeutic relationship which is free from judgement, and full of acceptance, empathy, and congruence (‘being real’). Most importantly, I aim to create a safe space where you can explore your feelings and experiences to gain a better understanding of them and of yourself, and where we can relate to one another human to human.

I have a special interest in working with:

  • Trauma (including PTSD / post-traumatic stress)
  • Anxiety (including panic attacks, social anxiety and health anxiety)
  • Spirituality

and have also supported clients with struggles with:

  • Depression & hopelessness
  • Mood swings
  • Bereavement, loss & grief
  • Self-esteem and sense of self
  • Perfectionism
  • Guilt & shame
  • Abuse
  • Bullying
  • Obsessive & intrusive thoughts
  • Work issues
  • Health
  • Burnout
  • Relationships
  • Rejection & abandonment
  • Loneliness
  • Anger & rage
  • Uncertainty, feeling 'stuck'
  • Change, life transitions & decisions
  • Acceptance
  • Self-expression
  • Body image & eating disorders

Qualifications:

  • FdA Person-centred Counselling & Psychotherapy (University of Warwick)
  • BA (Hons) Person-centred Counselling & Psychotherapy (University of Warwick) (1st class)
  • I am currently studying for an MA in Trauma Informed Practice (University of Nottingham).

My first session

I offer a free, no obligation 20 minute telephone chat, prior to starting therapy. This chat gives you the opportunity to share the reason you are looking for a therapist, and for me to share some more information about my practice and the way that I work. You will also have the chance to ask any questions about the process. Ultimately, it gives us both the chance to see if we are a good 'fit' to work together.

If you decide to proceed, will we arrange a suitable time for our first face to face session, which will include a full assessment.

All face to face therapy sessions are for one full hour (60 minutes).
