My name is Rachael Starkey and I am an accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist (CBT) and EMDR therapist, with over 20 years experience, working with both adults and children, in various roles within the NHS and social care sector. I am experienced in providing evidence-based treatment for a variety of conditions in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, such as depression and anxiety (OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety, body dysmorphia, panic and PTSD). I also have special interests in supporting people to manage symptoms of ADHD and long term physical health conditions.

I have experience of working with children in various settings including CAMHS. I specialise in working directly with children and young people who may have difficulties such as fitting in and coping at school, managing exam stress, panic attacks, and low mood/motivation. I also offer compassionate support for parents of children experiencing difficulties.

I think it is important for you to be able to trust your therapist so I ensure I use an honest, collaborative approach where you are fully involved in your treatment plan, working towards goals that you set. Working together in this way, puts you in the driving seat on the road to recovery, helping you to become your own therapist for longer term success.
