Rachel Gallagher

I currently have availability.

At times we all feel a little lost in life or not quite ourselves, sometimes we don’t know what we’re feeling but know something isn’t quite right. Counselling can provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings with someone who can help you work through your difficulties.

I work mainly from a person centred approach but draw on lots of different methods, particularly creative ones. We may use art or nature in our sessions to help you to express yourself creatively.

I am a great lover of the outdoors, nature and animals and believe these can often be a part of our healing. As an alternative to online or telephone I also offer walk and talk sessions where we will use the outdoors as part of the therapy. There are many benefits to working outdoors and clients can often find it less intense than traditional forms of counselling.

I will work collaboratively with you and together we will create a warm and safe place for you to explore what’s been going on for you. My approach is non-judgemental and I work in a kind and understanding way, led by you the client.

I have experience working with a wide range of issues including bereavement, loss, relationships, abuse, anxiety and stress. It may be that you have something specific that you wish to bring to counselling or you may just need a safe place to start to untangle your thoughts and feelings. Each session will be tailored to you and your individual needs. 

I can offer telephone or online counselling and also walk and talk sessions.

I offer a free 20 minute telephone conversation to discuss your needs and to see if I am the right counsellor for you. We can discuss what type of counselling would suit best and I can answer any questions you may have.
