Rachael Coward

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I work compassionately, honestly and with gentleness to help you bring about the changes you seek.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or unhelpful thoughts? Perhaps you’ve lost confidence, feel alone or are struggling in an important relationship. Do you feel you are constantly getting stuck in the same patterns and nothing in your life changes? Perhaps you don’t know what it is you want. Whatever your reason for seeking help and however difficult things are right now, deciding to work together could be the start of the change you want. I am passionate about helping clients find autonomy and clarity in their lives.

We might look at your early experiences to see how they are impacting you in your current life, this is not to find someone to blame but quite often we carry unconscious emotions from our past because we were not able to process them at the time. We avoided those emotions in helpful and adaptive ways. Now, however, these ways do not serve us in our adult life. We will look at these patterns and explore life events and the historical roots of your difficulties with love, care and compassion. 

I am a fully qualified integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor who offers individual counselling/psychotherapy to adults. As an integrative counsellor, I work relationally, exploring what is happening between us in the here and now to give us clues on how you are in relationship. I use a range of counselling theories to suit you and I will work with you collaboratively to facilitate what it is you would like to achieve.
