About me
I’m Rachel, an experienced therapist and certified EMDR practitioner. I specialise in supporting people to heal from childhood trauma, PTSD, and C-PTSD, and I also have significant experience working with men and autistic clients who may feel less represented in traditional therapy spaces.
In my practice, I offer both EMDR and talking therapy, depending on what best supports your needs. Some clients choose to process trauma primarily through EMDR, others prefer a person-centered approach, and many find that a blend of the two works best. My approach is always flexible and client-focused — I see the individual, not the problem.
I provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Whatever your background, my focus is on helping you move toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and growth.
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, so I always offer a free initial session. This gives us a chance to meet, talk through what you’re looking for, and decide together if I’m the right therapist for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified with an Masters Degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy.
I am also a qualified EMDR Practiotioner
As well as my qualifications, I have many years of experience working with a wide range of client issues, including complex mental health, depression, group work, abuse, and trauma. I currently focus on childhood abuse and neglect, PTSD and Complex-PTSD.
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.

Further information
N.B. As I trained for many years, I have a deep understanding of just how difficult and expensive counsellor training can be, I, therefore, offer concessions to counselling students as well as affordable tutoring sessions in person-centered theory, should you be struggling with the academic aspects of your course.
