Rachael E Cannon BSc.Econ(Hons), PG Dip Couns, MBACP

Profile

I am a Relational Integrative Counsellor and member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) working towards accreditation. I offer daytime and evening appointments, short term and open ended face to face and telephone counselling for individuals in Bath and local areas including Bristol and Bradford on Avon.

My integrative approach is influenced by theory and techniques derived from the humanistic, psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) traditions. The relational aspect of my approach is interested in the relationship we develop, but also in the relationships you have with yourself, those around you and beyond.

My aim is to build a strong relationship between us both, and to offer a confidential and safe space where you may begin to speak freely about your concerns and areas of your life that might feel difficult to discuss with friends and family. This exploratory process can encourage an honesty and openness that leads to greater personal insight and understanding, so that you may begin to view yourself and your issues in a different light.

My intention is to work with you in a way that is collaborative, creative and focused on your individual needs. Respecting the pace and the way in which you choose to work.

Further Information

As a member of the BACP, I am required to undertake professional training each year to complement my existing qualifications. I wholeheartedly embrace this opportunity and have attended workshops and courses to support my own personal and professional development. Currently, my interests lie in developing and integrating a Mindfulness approach within my life and professional therapeutic practice.

My private practice operates from The Practice Rooms in the heart of central Bath. A beautiful building which, I believe provides the perfect therapeutic setting. You can take a look yourself using the following link, www.thepracticerooms.co.uk/therapists/rachael-cannon.html

There is much to consider when embarking upon counselling and in choosing a counsellor. So if you would like to know more about how and when I work, I welcome all enquiries whether by telephone or e-mail.

Warmest wishes

Rachael
