About me
Hello, I’m Rachel. I believe that nobody should ever feel alone, and my role as a counsellor is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can truly be yourself. I work with openness, warmth, and honesty, and I strive to be relatable and real with the people I support. There will be no judgement — just understanding, empathy, and genuine care.
I am a person-centred counsellor, which means our sessions are led by your needs and experiences. I won’t tell you what to do, but I will walk alongside you, supporting you as you explore your feelings and discover your own way forward. My approach is grounded in congruence — being authentic with you — so that we can build a trusting, genuine relationship.

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.
