About me
Hi, I'm Rachel – a warm, down-to-earth therapist passionate about helping people feel calmer, freer, and more in control of their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
At Glowing Ember Ltd, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where we work together at your pace, in your way. My sessions are grounded in CBT but always tailored to your individual needs, values, and goals. Together, we’ll explore what matters to you and build tools that genuinely work for your life.
You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out – therapy is a space to grow, reflect, and build the life you want. It’s your journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you.
I welcome clients from all walks of life and am especially LGBTQIA+ friendly. I also have particular expertise in supporting people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and ADHD, offering an inclusive and flexible approach that honours your unique situation.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
Accredited register membership

Further information
Therapy that fits your life.
While standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £70, I believe support should work around you – not the other way around. That’s why I offer a flexible, mix-and-match approach.
You’re welcome to:
- Book longer or shorter sessions
- Access email or text-based support between sessions
- Tailor the format to meet your access needs or energy levels
If you’re not sure what’s right for you, I’m happy to talk it through and find an option that fits your needs and your budget.
