About me
Rachel provides a safe space for you to express yourself. Creative expression is a very powerful tool because during traumatic events we retain images and colour but often lose the ability to speak or think clearly. Using creativity, we can process these adverse experiences and move forward with a new sense of freedom.

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
