More about Rachael

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy in the UK, with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, self esteem, confidence & depression.
The aim of counselling is to offer you a safe, confidential environment to explore your issues and find a way forward. My role as your counsellor is to support you through this process, without giving you the answers, advice or making judgements.
I see the counselling relationship as a collaboration between the two of us. The collaboration begins to grow from the beginning, with safe and confidential boundaries put in place. As I start to offer you my warmth and non-judgemental attitude, you may find that you start to feel safe enough to open up, face your fears, and explore your emotional difficulties with me.
I use an integrative approach to counselling. This means that I integrate parts of different counselling therapies (Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) into my practice with my clients. I think deeply about what parts I decide to incorporate into your counselling, depending on your own needs, and my knowledge and expertise in counselling helps me to tailor my counselling, to suit you as an individual.
I facilitate a supportive relationship. I do this by listening without judgement and by not telling you what to do. I help and encourage you to find the answers. Supporting you in this way means that you can develop the necessary skills and tools to help you solve your own problems and move forward.
Exploring your issues in a safe place can help you to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Having a deeper understanding of yourself means that you can start to gain self awareness. With this new found knowledge of yourself, you can then change old patterns of behaviour, develop coping mechanisms and realise when your thinking is unhelpful, or distorted.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
