Rachel Household

Current availability mornings, afternoons and early evenings on Mondays and Thursdays.

I offer a warm and safe space where we can work collaboratively to explore issues and problems you may be experiencing, with empathy and support at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Research into successful counselling outcomes has shown that it's not the modality of counselling which dictates a successful outcome but the relationship between the counsellor and client. I suggest an initial twenty minute phone call where you can find out more about how I work and I can answer any questions you may have.  You can then consider whether you feel I might be the right counsellor for you.

I offer both short term (six to twelve weeks) and long term counselling. In longer term work I suggest a review every six weeks to give us the opportunity to discuss how you are finding counselling and to make sure that you are still getting what you need.

At the first session we will talk about your life and what brings you to counselling, and discuss what your hopes for counselling might be.  I understand how difficult it may be to open up about your life to a stranger so there are no expectations about how much you will share while we get to know each other.
