Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, misunderstood by others, or exhausted from constantly holding things together internally. You may struggle with anxiety, relationship difficulties, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, or a sense that you don’t fully belong. Perhaps words feel difficult sometimes, or you find yourself deeply feeling things that others seem able to brush aside. Therapy offers a space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply, feel genuinely seen, and gently unfurl into greater self-acceptance and freedom.
I am an Integrative therapist, I work using different theoretical approaches relevant to your needs, I can also work somatically and with creative resources if you are curious to explore a different approach. Trust and relationship are key to enabling you to fully explore your inner world. Together we will create a space to enable you to unfurl within.
I have a diverse client base, an interest in working with HSPs (Highly Sensitive Person) and those who have experienced therapy before. I typically work with anxiety, bereavement, complex grief, depression, narcissistic abuse, relationship challenges, identity challenges and emerging neurodivergent challenges. I bring my true self to you consistently.

Clients typically come to see me when they are feeling depressed, highly anxious and overwhelmed and in a constant hypervigilant state of being, we work together to alleviate some of these symptoms initially then we are better placed to explore more deeply the underlaying concerns. I also see people who have experienced bereavement including those who feel stuck in their grief many years later.

Rachael's ability to understand others and why they behave as they do comes from her deep attunement to clients and their internal experience. With a warm, gentle approach, she builds lasting relationships that reflect the trust and value she brings.
