You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, struggling with food, emotions, grief, or the impact of past experiences. You might feel anxious, low, or unsure how to express what’s going on inside. You don’t need to have everything figured out — just a willingness to explore in a safe, supportive space. I work with adults, children, and young people seeking understanding, healing, and a way forward at their own pace, and I warmly welcome neurodivergent clients.

Hello, I'm Rachael. I provide a safe, secure place, where you will be able to talk about your thoughts and feelings in confidence, without the fear of being judged. I know the thought of having counselling can be daunting, but I will help you to feel comfortable and relaxed. All my clients and their issues are extremely important to me, so there is no such thing as a client or an issue being ‘unimportant,’ or a problem being too ‘minor’. The sessions are all about you...

Reaching out can be hard. Are you feeling overwhelmed? struggling to cope with your situation? your emotions? your experiences? If your trust has been damaged, talking to someone who will take time to understand you can be a huge relief. Perhaps you need support through a crisis or you are at the end of your tether with multiple stresses. Even if you have longterm issues that seem stuck, talking to someone can make a difference. You may gain insight into the roots of your difficulties and find qualities in yourself that have never had a chance to develop. The aim is to help you live a more rewarding life.

You’re the one people rely on — thoughtful, capable, always trying to do the right thing. But inside, it’s different: anxiety, burnout, low mood, or a sense that something’s missing. Maybe you suspect undiagnosed neurodiversity like ADHD, or feel stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, stress, or past relationships. You want clarity, relief, and to stop repeating the same cycles. You’re not looking for labels — you want to understand what’s really going on, feel more like yourself, and finally breathe. Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you reconnect with who you are, in a way that feels safe, steady, and real.

My ideal clients are adults and couples who find themselves repeating patterns in relationships that no longer serve them. They may struggle with attachment anxiety, low self-worth, trust issues, shame, people pleasing, or the lasting impact of childhood or relationship trauma. Many have tried therapy before and understand their patterns intellectually, yet still feel stuck.
I help clients understand why these patterns developed, how they are affecting life today, and what can be done to change them. Together, we work with both insight and practical strategies so they can build healthier relationships and feel more secure

Hi, my name is Jane . If you're reading this, you’ve probably found that life isn’t always as straight-forward as we’d like and that it can really take a toll on each of us. I have experience supporting people facing all sorts of challenges in their lives including: anxiety, stress, depression, panic attacks, difficulties expressing themselves, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties, to name but a few. I can even support you if you just feel a little bit ‘off’, as though things are ‘not quite right’. The first step towards making a positive change is to ask for help, even if that feels daunting to do.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
