About me
Rachel is BABCP accredited and specialises in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and EMDR for adults struggling with anxiety, mood and stress related difficulties.
CBT is an evidence based treatment for these disorders, and due to its extensive evidence base, is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), as a first-line treatment for mental health illnesses. CBT is a type of talking treatment that focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes may affect your feelings and behaviour. The treatment focuses on coping skills for dealing with different problems.
Rachel has over 13 years of experience working with a variety of patient groups in a range of clinical settings including the NHS.
Rachel has experience of working with individuals with a range of mental health difficulties, working with both adults and adolescents. Rachel is able to draw upon a broad range of knowledge to help clients build awareness and develop skills to manage a range of emotional difficulties.
Rachel has special interest areas focusing on complex trauma, perinatal mental health care, and CBT for psychosis.
Rachel also offers training to individuals and groups including supervision of practitioners.
Rachel currently works with individuals in an adult acute setting experiencing a variety of mood disorders such as ptsd, depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, social phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder. She also works with complex and acute disorders such as bipolar, psychosis and complex trauma.
