About me
I'm Rachael, and I'm a psychotherapist using EMDR and counselling therapy. I work with adults.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It is an evidence-based therapy (also offered by the NHS) that helps people to process traumatic memories. It is particularly effective for people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but is also used for low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, traumatic grief, and more.
For both counselling and EMDR, a good therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect for me. I provide a safe space where you can share whatever you want. I work with anger issues, grief, stress, PTSD, self-harm, trauma, anxiety, bereavement, anxiety, depression, loss, phobias, addiction, co-dependency, and more. My particular area of interest is co-dependency.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked for over 15 years in the addiction field. I have worked in drug and alcohol agencies, prisons, homeless drop-in centers, and hostels. I have a good knowledge of the 12 steps.
If you are thinking about having counselling or EMDR therapy, please feel free to get in touch to book or ask any questions. I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation.
The cost of counseling differs from the EMDR sessions, so please get in touch to ask about the therapy rates. I offer a concessionary rate for university students.
I am based in Sketty, Swansea, for face-to-face counselling and EMDR sessions.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I'm a qualified and experienced BACP Accredited counsellor working with Adults. In addition to working with issues such as anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, relationship, and family issues,
I have worked with alcohol and drug addiction for 15 years within drug agencies and homeless drop-in centers. I have a very good knowledge of the 12-step program.
Life can be very challenging at times and dealing with issues on your own can feel very isolating. For some of us, asking for help doesn't come easy but it can be life-changing to do so.
My priority is you. It's important to me that you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings to change or manage your situation or issues with which you come to me. I provide a safe space where you can share what you would like to share and feel heard, understood, relaxed and comfortable.
Reaching out for help can sometimes feel so difficult. It can feel like a weakness to ask for help or pride can get in the way. Some people put it off even though they know they really need help. Having had many hours of counselling myself, I know some of the feelings related to asking for help.
Along with providing face-to-face therapy sessions I also offer online counselling sessions. For online counselling I use Google Meet.
I offer a free 15 minutes consultation and a discount for students
I look forward to hearing from you.
