More about Rachel

  • 5 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am credentialed as a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist in the UK, with 5 years of therapeutic professional work experience. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their ethical framework. I have clinical experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence; issues around identity, sexuality, discrimination and marginalisation. I have experience working with disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill clients. I have a warm and empathic style and work collaboratively with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared, and difficult or unhelpful patterns identified without fear of judgment. Taking the first step in seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
