About me
Hi, I’m Rachel, and in a world full of over 8 billion people, I know just how easy it is to feel alone or overwhelmed. As an integrative, person-centred counsellor, I draw on different methods to suit your needs. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to offer a supportive, professional relationship, modelling healthy boundaries to help you reclaim your agency and feel confident in deciding your next steps.
I recognise you might feel awkward or sceptical, and I want to reassure you that therapy is a place where you can feel safe to express yourself. Within our sessions, you can share at your own pace. I will approach your experiences with confidence and respect and ensure our sessions feel safe and authentic.
I am a qualified counsellor with a BSc in Counselling and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I currently offer therapy online and by phone, or in person in Liverpool city centre (lift available; please note there are some steps, so the space is not wheelchair accessible).
I work with adults facing a variety of challenges, from anxiety and low mood to grief, relationship struggles, life transitions, and the impact of trauma, whether recent or past. I also offer neuroaffirming support for individuals with ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD. I will hold a non-judgmental and empathetic space for whatever is on your mind.
I understand that everyone comes with their own unique experiences, and that means therapy should be just as unique. If you’ve tried something before and it didn’t quite challenge you or wasn’t beneficial, we can explore that together. If there’s a particular approach that resonates with you, we can integrate it into our sessions. We’ll find a way forward that works for you.
If this is the first time you have sought help and you're unsure where to start, you can book a free 20-minute consultation call, and we can talk in confidence about what you’d like to get out of therapy, and if we can work together, there is no obligation.
Fees:
- Online or phone sessions: £55 per 60-minute session
- In-person sessions: £65 per 60-minute session
- A limited number of reduced-fee sessions are available for students and those on a lower income. Please contact me for details.
I currently offer in-person sessions on Tuesdays between 9 am and 3.15 pm, Wednesdays between 9 am and 12.30 pm, and Thursdays between 12.45 pm and 3.15 pm.
I offer online/phone sessions on Mondays between 9 am and 1.30 pm, and Thursdays - Fridays, between 9 am and 5 pm.
If you are looking for a different time, please contact me, and I will try to accommodate you where possible.
If this feels like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you. You can also check out my website for any FAQ, and feel free to reach out with any further questions.

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.
