Over the last 10 years I have supported monogamous, ethically non-monogamous, heterosexual and LGBTQ+ relationships and individuals in re-discovering truth, understanding, connection and their bodies and pleasure.
I am deeply passionate about this work personally & professionally and it's an honour to accompany my clients on their relationship/sex journey. I believe to have sex and relate authentically we have to connect mind, body & sex. I have a somatic and trauma informed approach and I include creative interventions, parts work and inner child work where relevant.

I identify as gay/ queer and am one of few 'out' autistic therapists and am experienced at working affirmatively with LGBTQ+ & Neurodivergent Clients.
I know how daunting first sessions can be so it's my job to help you feel as comfortable as possible. The first session is an opportunity for us to find out a little about each other and for you to decide if I am the right therapist for you. We will discuss how things are for you at the moment, what's brought you to therapy and the things you'd like to work on.I offer a supportive, safe and confidential relationship. I have 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist, working initially in the NHS and for the last 8 years I've run a busy private practice in Central London.

I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
I’m not here to judge or offer advice. I’m here to listen and to help you navigate the changes you want to make in order to grow and move forward in your life. I can support you to consider how your past experiences inform you today and how they might impact your future. This allows the therapy to be a creative and collaborative process; I'm an advocate of no one-size-fits-all. I work ‘integratively’, which means that I integrate a wide range of therapeutic approaches. I adapt my approach to align with you and what you want to gain from therapy.

I work with people looking for support with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, internalised critical messages, LGBTQ issues and experiences, understanding shame and relationship problems (individuals and couples), exploring and identifying boundaries.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, stressful, or even frightening. Relationship difficulties, bereavement, loss, and change—whether unexpected or planned—can impact us in ways we don’t always anticipate or understand. At times, we may struggle to “get over” something or feel as though we “should” be coping better. Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a safe, respectful, and thoughtful space where you can explore your experiences and find a way forward that feels meaningful to you.

I have undertaken specialist training for working with LGBTQIA people, sex workers
Hello, I'm Rachael. There could be many reasons why you’re looking for therapy. It could be due to a particular issue that feels clear to you or a number of issues that are troubling or causing distress; perhaps you’re experiencing a general sense of discontent or unease that’s more difficult to describe. Whatever brings you, I aspire to provide a consistent and safe environment where we can explore what’s most relevant for you and at your pace. If you would like to talk further about sessions, please feel free to contact me. Following that, we can arrange an initial session to discuss how you would like to use our time together.

I have also worked with a large number of LGBTQ+ clients whilst volunteering at ‘London Friend’ and ‘The Naz Project
As a counsellor, I primarily focus on the relationship between myself and you the client. I view each client as a unique individual and throughout our sessions I hope to create a strong enough connection between us in a safe and supportive environment that you, as the client are able to open up and make the best use of the sessions. Relating is the core of what we do as counsellors and building and sustaining those relationships in the therapy room is where everything hinges.

I am also a proud ally of the LGBTQ.
Imagine facing challenges that sometimes feel overwhelming or that you are not living to your full potential because certain aspects of your identity make you feel marginalised. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulties stemming from your identity, sexuality, or personal relationships. You might seek a supportive space to explore these feelings without judgment. You seek understanding and tools to help navigate life's complexities and wish to align more closely with your authentic self.

I’m GSRD affirming, going beyond exclusivity and restrictions of LGBT ( lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans) which includes everyone on the gender spectrum and diverse sexualities and practices including BDSM/Kink, asexualities, consensual and non-monogamies.
Working alongside clients, I regard my role as empowering clients. I feel therapy should help clients connect to their own power within to access the insight to identify the tools required to work through underlying root causes. I guide clients through that process, who achieve sustainable internal changes and expansive growth as a result.

I am an LGBTQIA affirmative therapist
Life is full of challenges that can leave us hurt and uncertain. If we care about the type of person we are and the lives of those close to us, then challenges are worth time and effort to consider. What does it mean when we feel stuck and suffer from problems that won't go away? In what ways can being curious allow for change in the relationships to ourself and the world? Psychological therapy offers an encounter with yourself in the company of a therapist who supports a process of reflection and bearing witness to the story of your struggles and strengths in service of what matters most to you.

I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, past or present trauma, and LGBTQIA+ related issues; I am also very interested in the impact of shame and its influence on a person's life.
Central to my approach is understanding the quality of your relationship to yourself and others. Most importantly, we are looking for you to develop an internally allied sense of self. To foster change, I draw on multiple approaches to psychotherapy treatment including Transactional Analysis, Jungian analysis/shadow theory, and Attachment theory.
