I offer discounted rates for Counselling/Psychotherapy Students. £50 per session

Hi there, my name is Racheal and I am a fully qualified Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited Counsellor with over 10 years’ experience, providing Counselling to patients within the NHS. In addition to this, I have worked within an NHS Staff Support Service, providing therapeutic interventions to NHS employees experiencing work related stress, burn out, disciplinary proceedings and physical health diagnosis.

Life can be complicated and with our busy modern lives and endless lists of responsibilities, it can be a struggle to find the time, space or even the energy to deal with any personal problems which may arise.

Space for change Counselling offers you the opportunity to sit, reflect and discuss the things that are bothering you and want to change, within a relaxed, non-judgemental and confidential environment. Identifying the barriers which are preventing you from living the life you want.

If you are struggling with some issues that you just can’t work out, then counselling could be for you. If you want to identify your blocks to change and reach your full potential, you can start your journey towards living the life you aspire to, focussing on your values and beliefs.

I believe that the power for change lies within the individual and sometimes we just need the right conditions, including space and time, to make it happen.

You won’t be given advice or told ‘what to do’ but you will be encouraged to make any positive changes which may benefit your well-being.

Whatever your goals for therapy, the process will increase your sense of self-awareness which may include getting to know your ‘triggers’ or ‘soft spots’ and how to deal with these situations in a healthier and more satisfactory way. With greater self-awareness, comes choice and with choice comes control. My aim is to help you become more ‘in-control’ of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, instead of feeling that they are in control of you.

I utilise the collaborative nature of the counselling relationship so we can work together to find the right solutions for you as I believe we are all different and what works for one, may not work for some-one else. Part of the therapeutic process may include finding out ‘what works’ for you and by doing so, can help to alleviate your mental health struggles, setting you free, to live a fulfilling life.

We may identify useful strategies and techniques to manage your well-being, anxiety, depression, sleep etc. if this is appropriate, however for some people, just being able to talk to some-one impartial about their difficulties can be beneficial within itself, giving you the space and freedom to develop that greater understanding of yourself and your current issues, in order to move forward.

My therapeutic approach is Integrative. My core modalities include, humanistic, person-centred, solution focussed, cognitive behavioural and interpersonal. These are all proven and researched interventions in treating common mental health diagnosis such as depression and anxiety.

Common issues I have worked with include, depression, anxiety, low mood, work related stress, going through work related disciplinary process’s, relationship difficulties, difficult family dynamics, low self-esteem, low confidence, poor sleep, loss of meaning or purpose and unexplained feelings of sadness. Existential issues, ageing and dying, grief and bereavement. Identity issues, past abuse and childhood issues.

This is just a sample of the most common themes people present with but I appreciate everyone is different and sometimes there may be a combination of these factors impacting on you.

If you would like to discuss how Counselling could work for you, please contact me via email, text or phone call. We can then arrange an initial telephone consultation to assess your needs and book in for future sessions.

Hi there, my name is Racheal and I am a fully qualified Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited Counsellor with over 10 years’ experience, providing Counselling to patients within the NHS. In addition to this, I have worked within an NHS Staff Support Service, providing therapeutic interventions to NHS employees experiencing work related stress, burn out, disciplinary proceedings and physical health diagnosis.

In addition, I have over 5 years experience in providing Clinical Supervision for NHS Counsellors and have a post graduate Diploma in Integrative Supervision of individuals and groups.

I would describe my Supervision approach is Integrative, I utilise a range of tools and techniques to help you identify any potential problems or blocks within your practice, offering a safe, containing and reflective space for you to explore your therapeutic work in-depth.

I utilise different models of supervision to give you a flexible and open forum, tailored to the individual Counsellors needs.

Supervision for Counselling is a requirement that ensures standards are met and quality is enhanced. It offers a reflective space in which to develop practice and benefit client safety. The aim of supervision is to enable the supervisee to gain ethical competence, confidence and creativity, so as to give the best possible service to their clients.

I believe that it is important to develop a solid framework for the work we are completing together, enhancing the shared understanding that supervision is a valued and integral element of the profession we practice.

Standard Supervision requirements are 1.5 hours per calendar month.

Training establishments may require 1 hour every 2 weeks.

I provide face to face, Zoom or telephone Supervisory sessions.

I offer reduced rates for Counselling Students - £50 per hour or £75 for 1.5 hours.

During the first session we will spend some time discussing your individual Supervisory needs, whether you are a fully qualified, experienced practitioner or Counselling student.
