Rachael Oldfield

If you are suffering with anxiety, depression, a lack of self-confidence, loneliness or isolation, conflict in relationships at home or at work, an inability to move painful past experiences, bereavement or loss (in any form), difficulty with moving through a life-transition - or if you are simply wanting to explore who you are and who you'd like to be - I can help. 

I am a qualified and experienced Person Centred Counsellor who can offer you a warm, non-judgmental therapy relationship in which we can work together towards your goals. Our work will be uniquely tailored to you and you will decide what to share, at your pace and for as many sessions as you wish. We can regularly review our work together to ensure that you continue to get what you need.

With a background in performance arts, I bring my experience, insight and understanding of the particular difficulties actors, dancers and musicians can face, to my work with them. 

I am also researching the experience of attending boarding school, and the particular reverberations boarders might feel in adult life, for an MSc in Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute.

I do understand that it can take a lot of courage to make contact with a counsellor and I'm here when you are ready. Give me a call or send me an email and we can make an arrangement to meet (for a reduced initial fee of £45) so that you can get a feel for how I work and for whether we might be a good 'fit'. I look forward to meeting you.
