About me
I'm Rachael, a Relationship Therapist with over 18 years' experience working with couples and individuals. My background includes counselling roles within the NHS, Social Work, Relate, and other charities, before moving into private practice in 2011.
To date, I've supported more than 4,000 clients and taught counselling up to Diploma level, helping to train over 160 qualified counsellors. I work mainly from a Psychodynamic approach, while also integrating Person-Centred values and CBT strategies when useful.
I believe therapy should be straightforward, accessible, and focused on helping you find clarity and a way forward.
