About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I’m Rachel. I am an approachable, friendly, and down-to-earth person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who values being human first. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space where you can take time to share your experiences at your own pace.
I have worked in the education, SEND, and mental health sectors for the past 15 years, including roles as a counsellor within a college, GP practice, and university setting. I support young people and adults who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected following intense life experiences.
I listen with care and work alongside you to explore whatever you choose to bring to our sessions, supporting you to make sense of your experiences in a way that feels safe and meaningful. We can explore this together.
Practice description
My practice offers a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can pause and reflect on whatever is happening in your life. I work in a person-centred way, meaning our sessions are led by you and shaped around what feels most important and meaningful to explore.
If you need a place to off load all your thoughts, you have reached the right profile.
