MY PRACTICE AND QUALIFICATIONS
More than talking. A way to work towards change.
Welcome
Hello, I'm Rachael.
If you are looking at my website, there's a chance you are going through a difficult time, trying to make sense of something that has happened to you, or simply feeling that things aren't quite right. Perhaps you've been thinking about speaking to someone for a while but aren't quite sure where to start. So, I'm happy to see you here.
About me
I'm a Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist with nearly 30 years of experience supporting people through life's challenges. Throughout my career I've worked in a variety of settings including social care, post adoption support, residential care and schools, nhs, private therapy services, before developing my own private practice.
My approach is warm, compassionate and grounded in the belief that people deserve to be heard, understood and supported without fear of judgement. I recognise that everyone's experiences are different and I work with you as an individual, at a pace that feels right for you.

MY SERVICES
Professional expertise. Personal understanding.
Therapy and sessions
My experience has taught me that one size doesn't fit all and I believe an eclectic approach to therapy is key.
Whether you're struggling with past experiences, anxiety, emotional difficulties or relationship challenges, our work begins with understanding what's happening for you and what you'd like to change.
Psychotherapy offers space to explore your experiences, recognise patterns and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. EMDR is a specialist, structured therapy that can help you process distressing experiences and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.
My approach is warm, honest and collaborative, combining professional expertise with a heart felt commitment to helping you make progress towards changes that matter to you.
I work with children, young people, adults, couples and families, with appointments available face to face and remotely.
You don't need to know which approach is right for you before getting in touch. We can discuss your circumstances and explore the most appropriate way forward together.
Professional services
Experience, knowledge and practical guidance for professionals.
Alongside my clinical practice, I offer professional services informed by nearly 30 years of experience in psychotherapy and private practice.
My work includes trauma informed professional consultation, clinical supervision and practical guidance for therapists who are establishing or developing their own private practices.
Professional consultation and supervision.
A confidential, supportive space to reflect on your work, explore challenges and develop your professional practice.
Setting up a Successful Private Practice.
My practical online masterclass is designed for counsellors and psychotherapists who want to understand the realities of establishing and running a private practice - including the practical details that aren't always covered during training.
Drawing on my own experience, I share honest advice, lessons learned and practical guidance to help you approach setting up your practice with greater clarity and confidence.
Feedback from professionals.
I value feedback from those who have attended my masterclasses and worked with me professionally. Their experiences offer an insight into the practical value of the guidance I provide -
