About me
Welcome to my practice, New Chapter Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Here, you’ll find a supportive space to slow down, explore how you are feeling, what is impacting you and begin rewriting the parts of your story that no longer serve you.
I’m Rachel, a registered and accredited therapist offering counselling and psychotherapy both online or in-person from my calm and comfortable private practice in Leigh Sinton, Malvern.
With an MSc in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy, I have extensive experience and training to support individuals to navigate life’s transitions, heal from emotional wounds, and reconnect with their inner strength. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, healing from past trauma, struggling with a relationship or simply yearning for deeper clarity and balance, you’re in the right place.
This is a place to feel seen, to feel understood and to begin your next chapter with intention and support. If you’re ready to take the first step, have a look around and feel free to get in touch with me. I offer a free no obligation 15 minute call to see if I might be the right fit for you, or you’re very welcome to book in an initial session if that’s what you prefer. Whether it’s myself or another counsellor on the site, I wish you all the best in your therapy journey.
Take care,
Rachel
