Hi thank you for visiting my profile page, you’ve just taken the courageous first step to look for help through counselling. Sometimes we face challenges in our day-to-day lives which can be stressful, frustrating and difficult to manage. Turning to someone you don’t know can be daunting and confusing making you feel vulnerable and scared. However, counselling offers a safe, caring confidential space to explore, and discuss your difficulties. I will listen and support you with empathy and respect. I will work with you in an open, honest and non-judgemental way.

To be listened to and accepted for where you are in your life is important. From practicing as a person centred counsellor for over 7 years, I believe that a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate approach is key for healing. Alongside listening, I offer counselling tools when needed to help. If you prefer, we can chat initially about counselling via mobile or email.

Hello I’m Rachel and a very warm welcome. As you find yourself here, you may be feeling stuck in life at the moment and perhaps issues or difficulties may be causing you distress or to feel overwhelmed. Perhaps you feel anxious, depressed or have low self esteem? Often through no fault of our own we can get caught up in these difficult cycles. The good news is I can help you get "unstuck" and help you to achieve lasting change in your life. I will help you move towards your goals and lead a more fulfilled life. I am here to support you every step of the way, giving you the space and time to discover yourself.

Is everything okay?....... This can be a difficult question to answer. Our default response is often "yes", but deep down, for a lot of us, that's simply not true. Often we struggle to verbalise it, can be exceptionally good at denying it even exists or spend copious amounts of emotional energy keeping it at bay. Perhaps you know why you don't feel okay and perhaps you don't. Either way, I can help. I offer a safe, confidential space to allow you to explore any issues you may be experiencing. "Above all things, to thine own self be true"- William Shakespeare.

Do you feel worried that your use of substances is starting to get out of control and is causing problems in your life? Or are you worried that you will not be able to cope without them, even though you would like to cut back or stop?. Do you feel locked into thinking styles which are starting to dominate your life such as anxiety or depression and don't know what to do? Imagine if you could regain control of your life and situation so you felt happier, less anxious, and were no longer dependant or worried about you substance use, what would that feel like? Recovery is possible but sometimes we just need a bit of help to get there

If you've discovered something about yourself that you'd like help understanding, I can provide a nonjudgmental space for you to explore this. If you're feeling lost and want a place to find your way, your passions, or yourself, I can provide a patient and calm opportunity for you to try what works for you. If things in your life are making you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or sad, I can provide a space away from your stress to focus on you. If you feel constantly worried about the past or future and don't know how to relax or be in the present, I can help you discover why that might be, and help you find space for yourself..

Sometimes things in life become difficult and we have overwhelming feelings which lead to difficulties with coping with life's experiences. I am available to talk through the issues affecting individuals and help them look at ways to explore what they are experiencing and look at different ways to think, feel and behave through them. Things can change and life can be different, sometimes we just need a helping hand to see that. If you want someone to talk to or are looking to make changes in your life I will work alongside you to develop a relationship that will be positive and protected.
