Hello, I am Rachel, a Chartered Psychologist with the BPS. I am an experienced attachment and assessment specialist dedicated to fostering positive growth in families and professionals for over ten years. Utilising a blend of creative arts, coaching, and psychotherapy, I offer tailored support that empowers individuals to thrive. My compassionate approach ensures that every client feels understood and valued on their journey towards healing and connection. I use the transformative power of the therapeutic alliance to help you take the first step towards a brighter future.
I can provide evidenced-based assessments for attachment, ADHD and Autism. I can help parents who are struggling to support their children due to developmental, health and attachment challenges. I can provide training for health care and education professionals to ensure they feel resilient in supporting children, families and employees.
Since qualifying as a therapist in 2008, I have worked in many settings and helped people with all sorts of challenges. My approach is to always listen to your experiences so I really understand, then help you to focus on some actions so that you can experience positive change in your life.
