A little bit about me...
Taking the first step to seek therapy can feel daunting, and choosing the right person can feel overwhelming. Below is a little bit about me which will hopefully give you a sense of who I am and how I work. My name is Rachel and I am a fully qualified and registered counsellor and hypnotherapist, as well as a registered mental health nurse.
​
I have supported many clients over the last 14 years who have felt worried to open up, to trust or to explore difficult emotions and experiences before starting therapy. During our sessions, they have found huge benefit as each session was personalised to them.
​​​
I have extensive experience in supporting people with trauma and/or eating disorders, however, I can also support people with anxiety, depression and OCD. I aim to build trust, transparency and a safe space where people can explore their difficulties at their own pace. I am trained in a range of approaches which allows me to adapt my approach to suit each person.
​
I offer a free 15 minute phone call so you can ask questions and get a feel of whether I could be the right person to support you, and equally I'll ask some questions to make sure I am the right person to support you too.
