About me
Hi, and welcome. I’m Rochelle, a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist.
My clinical experience spans the NHS, a specialist women’s centre and a range of counselling services. I work with adults aged 18 and over across the UK and Europe, providing short- and long-term online therapy for a range of emotional, personal and relationship difficulties, including:
- Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
- Stress and burnout
- Trauma and past experiences
- Life transitions and uncertainty
- Relationship difficulties and recurring patterns
- Family dynamics and conflict
- Work-related stress and professional pressures
- Self-esteem, confidence and identity
- Cultural identity, belonging and family expectations
My Therapeutic Approach
My practice is predominantly psychodynamic. The therapeutic relationship is central to my work, providing a space to explore the experiences, emotions and relational patterns that shape how we understand ourselves and relate to others.
My Specialist Interests
I have a particular interest in supporting people affected by coercive and controlling behaviour within intimate relationships. This may include gaslighting, emotional and psychological abuse, intimidation, isolation from friends and family, monitoring and restrictions on independence.
Alongside my clinical practice, I deliver specialist training on stalking and coercive control to qualified and trainee psychotherapists at a specialist women’s centre. The training explores a range of themes, including DARVO (denial, attack and reversal of victim and offender), institutional betrayal, stalking and the use of legal systems as a means of ongoing abuse.

First Session
We'll explore your background, significant life experiences, relationships, what has brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are charged at my standard fee of £70.
Ongoing Therapy
If we decide to continue working together, sessions are usually held weekly. Payment is made in advance of each session. Therapy is offered on an open-ended basis, with no obligation to commit to a fixed number of sessions.

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.

Further information
I grew up in Germany and Spain, studied in Paris, and worked in Bangkok. Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in learning and development, human resources, education, and the not-for-profit sector.
My multilingual and cross-cultural background has shaped my sensitivity to language, meaning, and cultural context within the therapeutic relationship. Sessions are offered in English.
