Rachel Elton
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
I work with young people and adults from diverse backgrounds and draw on different tools and modalities to best suit each individual according to their needs. Talking forms the foundation of my work, but I weave in many practices, such as play, art and mindfulness. I also use movement at times to drop deeper into the wisdom of the body and work with it as a means of gentle inquiry and expression.

I provide therapeutic services for individual adults & young people, as well as couples. I offer a safe and confidential space in W1, TN1 and RH19 to work on a short or long term basis depending on your need. If you haven't had counselling before, the thought of talking to a stranger about something that's troubling you can seem frightening. You may have an idea of the changes you want to make, or simply be aware that you want something in your life to be different without being sure how to achieve this. I am qualified to practise Transactional Analysis psychotherapy and can support you to initiate the changes you seek to make.

Whether you are an individual or a couple experiencing anxiety, stress or depression reaching out for help is good and courageous. Therapy has the power to connect you more deeply with your inner resources, giving you the tools to cope better and become more successful. As human beings, our universal needs are to feel loved, respected and fulfilled and when these are missing, we can often experience a disconnect with others and ourselves, feel lonely (even when in a relationship), anxious or meaningless. Don't suffer alone, but reach out today! I also offer intercultural psychotherapy for culturally diverse people.

Psychotherapist, MA, BPC

Many people experience emotional difficulties at some point in their lives, triggered by a particular event, or as a result of deeper unidentified issues. Talking to a psychodynamic therapist, in a safe and confidential environment, provides a unique opportunity to identify the themes and patterns of thought and behaviour that can generate emotional distress,. This can involve talking through past experiences and understanding how they impact you today. The relationship with the therapist is important, as it provides an opportunity to examine ways of thinking and relating in the here and now as well as developmental factors.
