Rachel Temple

I work both outside with our horses, walking and talking in the beautiful SouthDowns National Park  and room based psychotherapy. We have space for body based somatic techniques with yoga mats.

Increasingly my clients require zoom or face time options and this can help with managing continuity for after work evening clients.

I offer a hybrid of flexible working which suites commuters who can come in person sometimes but also require mobile based therapy as well. 

I am a psychodynamically trained therapist with a specific interest in attachment and working relationally. I am a registered homeopath with the Society and have experience of listening to how the body tells us something is out of balance. I work with how we often push our painful feelings into our body to cope with our busy lives. Sometimes these feelings are unconscious to our minds and held in our body. Understanding and linking can provide great relief allowing us to feel whole again. Using tools and techniques to become aware and take home clients have been able to transform their lives.

At Heartlands we have a private oasis in the beautiful Southdowns. We are able to not only offer room based therapy but walk and talk therapy in 12 acres of completely private grassland. As a leap trained practitioner I also work with our small herd of horses to facilitate equine therapy. This is a wonderful opportunity to re-connect with your deepest self  - and perhaps go on a journey to find out who that really is. Horses offer unconditional regard in the present moment  - this can heal deep attachment wounds and relational trauma that has no words. The horses speak with their hearts  - and I have found this work to be extremely healing for clients who could not face 'telling their story'.

I offer an initial complementary telephone discussion to establish what you may be looking for, and if I feel that I can help. We can arrange a first session time to see how you experience the work.
