About me
Welcome
Hi, I’m Rachel – thank you for visiting my profile.
I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone new takes courage — but it’s an important step toward healing and change.
I’m a qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP, working within their Ethical Framework. I’m passionate about supporting people as they explore, understand, and manage life’s challenges.
Areas of Focus
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including:
• Neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD, and related experiences)
• Chronic illness and fatigue (Long Covid, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia)
• Chronic pain, migraines, and headaches
• Anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, and life changes

My Approach
I am here to help you on your therapeutic journey. I believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is central to therapy and I hope this profile will help you decide if you feel we can work together. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please get in touch.
I offer a person-centred and relational approach, tailoring therapy to each client’s individual needs. We will work collaboratively as I believe it is for you to decide what issues you want to explore to find a way forward and to empower you to make positive changes in your life.
Our sessions are a space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and relationships — past and present — to understand yourself better and find new ways forward.
We’ll work collaboratively to help you manage unhelpful thoughts and feelings, build self-awareness, and create lasting change. Therapy can be short or long term, depending on your goals.
How I Work
I offer sessions online (via Zoom) and by telephone, accessible to clients across the UK.
Remote counselling allows you to talk from the comfort of your own space, without travel or time pressures
Reasons for coming to Counselling
You might be:
• Feeling burned out, fatigued, or emotionally drained
• Struggling with self-esteem or feeling “not good enough”
• Worried about being a burden to others
• Feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood
• Coping with loss, change, or uncertainty
· Feeling overwhelmed by a world that doesn’t suit the neurodivergent brain?
· You may be dealing with big life changes and have a lot of uncertainty on adjusting to the changes and understanding the loss you may feel around the change.
Whatever you’re facing, therapy provides a safe, supportive space to make sense of it and move forward.

Member organisations
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.
