About me and my therapy practice

Hi I'm Rachel and I am a  person centered psychotherapist/counsellor and EFT Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner.

 Brief list of the type of issues I am experienced in working with 

  • Domestic abuse all forms
  • Childhood abuse all forms
  • Trauma
  • Some experience with personality dissorders
  • Trauma bonding cycles
  • narcissistic abuse cycles
  • Intrusive/frightening thoughts
  • Sexual issues and sexuality
  • Mental health issues
  • depression/anxiety
  • CPTSD Complex Post Traumatic Stress Dissorder 
  • Spirituality

My approach

I offer an open minded, and non judgemental space  to be able to explore  experiences and issues safely.

I understand that when coming to therapy people want to know that they are safe to discuss "any" issue no matter how embarrassing frightening  or shameful it may feel. 

This is why I ensure that my clients know right from the start that as a therapist, I am able to hold any information the client may need to bring that they  find  embarrassing frightening,  sensitive or disturbing,   safely, empathically and without judgement. 

I look forward to working together

Rachel 🙂
