Rachel Lees

I offer online (via Zoom) and in-person counselling from a quiet cabin in Crockerton - close to Warminster and Frome. Feel free to email me with any questions, or book a free 20-minute intro call so we can get a feel for each other and you can ask anything you want. 

Hi, I'm Rachel. I work with overthinkers, deep feelers, and people who are exhausted from living in their heads.

If your mind never seems to switch off - replaying conversations, questioning decisions, spiralling into worst-case scenarios - you're not alone. I work with people who feel overwhelmed by their own thoughts and want more calm, ease and joy in their day-to-day life.

How counselling can help

A lot of overthinking is your nervous system trying to keep you safe, in a way that's stopped being useful. Therapy gives you somewhere to slow that down. Together we'll get curious about what's actually going on underneath all that busyness - and you'll pick up real ways to untangle overthinking, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with what matters to you most.I offer a warm space where you don't have to edit yourself, 'have it all together', or work it all out alone.

How I work

I'm person-centred, humanistic and integrative - so you won't be told the "right" way to think about something. Instead, I support you to connect to your existing intuition and wisdom, uncovering the answers for yourself.

Depending what you need on the day, we might work through talking, breathwork, or other body-based tools to help settle your nervous system. Alongside exploring what's underneath all of that thinking - where it came from, what your body's been carrying - all of it. You certainly don't need the right words for it before you come.

I work with people who:

• Overthink - a mind that won't switch off
• Feel overwhelmed, or like everything's moving too fast to keep up with
• Experience anxiety and stress - especially when it's left them feeling disconnected from your own body
• Experience constant low hum of self-criticism
• Want to understand why their mind does this, not just pick up another coping technique
• Want to get back in touch with their body after a long stretch of feeling detached
