My experience has given me specific interests in working with those struggling with the following specific areas:
Specific areas of focus:
• Neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD, and related experiences)
• Chronic illness and fatigue (Long Covid, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia)
• Chronic pain, migraines, and headaches
• Anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement
Hi, I’m Rachel – thank you for visiting my profile.
I understand reaching out for counselling can feel daunting. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone new takes courage — but it’s an important step toward healing and change.
How might Counselling help me?
For instance, you may be:
• Feeling burned out, fatigued, or emotionally drained
• Struggling with self-esteem or feeling “not good enough”
Worried about being a burden to others
• Feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood
• Coping with loss, change, or uncertainty
• Feeling overwhelmed by a world that doesn’t suit the neurodivergent brain?

Hi, I’m Nathan, thanks for being here.
I’m an integrative therapist with experience across both the NHS and specialist community services. My work is grounded in understanding how life experiences, especially trauma can shape the way we think, feel, and respond to the world around us.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you need, we can take things at your pace and begin to make sense of things together.

You've probably been working hard to manage your anger, and are finding yourself more frustrated than ever.
The problem with anger is that the harder you try to manage it, the more stubborn it gets. But it's also incredibly misunderstood and there is so much more to learn about it. I don't work only with anger, in fact, a lot of my work with anger has come out of working around something else entirely.

Hello. I am Emma. Generally people come to me with anxiety, low self confidence and depression. Sometimes this feels like life is a struggle with no direction and purpose, or your head feels full of thoughts, and you feel restless. I have success with clients who want to find themselves, their path and understand the world in which they live. This often means working with existential questions; Why am I here? What is the point?
I work with trauma, and recognise how scary this can be for people to face.
My work with couples often focuses on communication.
I am a trained Mindfulness teacher and this can form part of our work.

Chronic Pain Counsellors
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophising, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
