About Me

Hi, I'm Rachel (she/her)

I offer online counselling appointments  via Zoom - which can be scheduled weekly, fortnightly or monthly - to fit in with your life demands.

I am a qualified, and BACP accredited, counsellor with over 16 years' counselling experience, working with young people and adults 18+ in charities, university and private practice.

Alongside private practice, I currently work part-time in my role as counsellor at Cardiff University.

Please note that, due to this, I am unable to provide counselling if you are a current student at Cardiff University.

A relaxed approach to growth

My style is relaxed and friendly, with the relationship and rapport we build together at the core of our work.

As well as talking through your concerns, I offer a solution-focused approach where we explore what's working well for you and how to build on this to help improve how you are feeling.

I am flexible in how I work, offering weekly or fortnightly sessions, for brief or long-term support to suit your needs.

Be your true self, here

I want you to feel that you can come to me and be completely safe to be your true self and knowing it's okay to share.

If you identify as neurodivergent, or you are exploring this, you may be looking for a space where you don't have to explain or mask parts of yourself. This is something I hold in mind deeply in my work.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood and supported.
