Choosing the right counsellor is an important step, and finding someone you feel comfortable with can make all the difference. Rachael is a qualified person-centred counsellor who works integratively, drawing on a range of evidence-informed therapeutic approaches to provide support tailored to each individual. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly at your own pace. Every person is unique, so rather than following a single counselling model, Rachael works collaboratively with you to understand your experiences and adapt her approach to meet your individual needs. She has experience supporting adults and young people with a range of issues, including trauma, men’s wellbeing, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement, low self-esteem and wider mental health concerns. Together, you will build a trusting therapeutic relationship in which you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence. Whatever has brought you to counselling, Rachael is committed to walking alongside you with empathy, honesty and respect, empowering you to make meaningful and lasting changes at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach to counselling is integrative, meaning I draw upon a range of evidence-informed therapeutic approaches while keeping the person-centred relationship at the heart of our work together. Every session is shaped around you, ensuring that the support you receive reflects your individual circumstances rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.
Our sessions are built on trust, empathy and collaboration, providing a safe and supportive environment in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, helping you gain greater self-awareness, resilience and confidence as you move towards positive and lasting change.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work within the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring that every aspect of counselling is delivered with professionalism, confidentiality and respect. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel that life has become difficult to manage, I am here to support you with warmth, understanding and genuine compassion.
