About me

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, the loss of a loved one or other major life changes?

You may still be 'going through the motions' in your life, while quietly feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, self-critical or emotionally drained. Perhaps you're feeling stuck, struggling with your confidence, or simply don't feel quite like yourself anymore.

Sometimes it can be difficult to explain what's wrong. You might just know that things feel harder than they used to and that you'd like some support.

I'm Rachel, an HCPC Registered Art Psychotherapist, Therapist and Counsellor, with over 10 years' experience supporting adults, children and young people.

I offer a warm, calm and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, talk openly and begin to make sense of what you're experiencing. I won't expect you to have all the answers, and you don't need to know exactly what you want to talk about.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call where we can have a relaxed conversation about what has brought you to therapy, what you're looking for and whether I might be the right therapist for you.

How I can help
I work with people experiencing:

Anxiety, worry and overthinking
Low self-esteem and self-doubt
Stress and emotional overwhelm
Depression and low mood
Difficulties managing emotions
Transitions and life changes
Relationship and family difficulties
Trauma and its emotional impact
Bereavement and loss
The emotional impact of illness

I have particular experience supporting people through grief and bereavement, including individuals and families affected by cancer, life-limiting illness and loss.

Alongside my work as an Art Psychotherapist, I have worked as a counsellor and Therapist across the NHS, CAMHS, schools, charities and community services, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and mental health difficulties. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with people at many different stages of life and through a variety of challenging experiences.

My approach
My approach is thoughtful, compassionate and collaborative. Together, we can explore what's happening for you at a pace that feels manageable.

As an Art Psychotherapist, I can also offer creative ways of exploring thoughts and feelings when words don't quite feel enough. You don't need to be good at art and you don't have to use art at all. Making art it's simply another option available within our work together. A lot of clients don't make art at all in sessions, but we may talk about books, films or other imagery which helps describe what you are feeling.

Taking the first step
I know that contacting a therapist for the first time can feel daunting.

You don't need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before getting in touch.

If you'd like to explore whether I might be the right therapist for you, please get in touch for a free 15-minute introductory call. We can have a relaxed conversation about what you're looking for, and you can ask any questions you may have.

There's no obligation to book ongoing therapy.

I'd be very happy to hear from you.
