About me
Hi, I'm Rachel and I'm an experienced, warm and compassionate counsellor and clinical supervisor who works in person (in an office in Haworth), by phone and online with teenagers and adults.
I believe that a strong, safe relationship is the best place to explore both our past and our present experiences and the impact that these might be having on our current sense of wellbeing. I work with you in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way, at a pace that suits you, to help you gain insight and foster long term change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with a wide age range (13+) and with a diverse range of issues including anxiety, loss, trauma, attachment, abuse, work and relationship issues and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences.). I have lots of experience of working with neurodivergent clients.
Member organisations
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.
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
I know choosing a therapist can feel daunting - the relationship needs to feel like the right 'fit'. Please do get in touch with any questions or queries you have, or to chat through what you're looking for, and we can discuss your options.
