Rachel Snowball

I work from Cirencester and Cheltenham Monday-Thursday between hours of 9-6pm. 

Hello and welcome.

I am an experienced Psychodynamic counsellor, with a practice in both Cirencester and Cheltenham.

You may be reading this if you are struggling with some aspect of your life at the moment. Perhaps you have been through a difficult life event or you are having problems with family relationships, friends or work colleagues. You may be struggling with your emotions, feeling low or anxious, or feel like an outsider and that no one understands you.

My role in counselling is to guide and support you. I offer a warm, confidential, and safe space where you can talk freely without being judged. Working together, we can explore where your feelings are coming from and then work towards positive change.

I am experienced in helping clients with a variety of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, anger, and work or relationship-based problems.

Prior to training as a counsellor, I spent over 25 years working in management within large and small business organisations and charities. During this time I had a special interest in coaching, mentoring and employee mental health. It is a great privilege to be able to bring this experience into my psychoanalytical training and work.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) and work according to their ethical framework. I qualified from Gloucestershire Counselling Service (GCS) with a diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (training accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council) and I continually participate in further professional development.

Initial consultation (60 mins)

If you would like to get in touch, we can arrange an initial consultation at a mutually convenient time. During this session, we can explore what brings you to counselling and what you hope to gain from it. You can also use this opportunity to decide if this is the best option for you. The fee is £55.

Ongoing sessions (50 mins)

Regular weekly sessions at the same time each week. It is difficult to know the number of sessions you may need or how long you may want to continue. You will be able to influence the pace of the counselling and, together, we will regularly review your progress and your thoughts about the work. The fee is £55 per session.
