Shwmae / Hi there!

I'm Rachel (she/her), based in Pontypool, South Wales.

I offer online talking therapy and reduced cost EMDR therapy, as I am completing my  EMDR Therapy training currently.

Although I currently offer online counselling, please do message me if you are local and would prefer in person appointments as I am looking to secure a base in Torfaen from September 2026.

Contact me for a free 15 minute, no obligation, chat to talk through your hopes for counselling and to see if we could work well together.

Whilst I specialise in supporting young women aged 18-40, I welcome enquiries from anyone who feels I may be the right therapist for them.

Counselling with Me

My style is relaxed, friendly and I'm open to finding a way of working which feels right for you.

If you need to take your time and build trust before sharing your experiences, that's OK. If you want to dive straight in, that's OK too.

If you want to swear, go ahead and swear.

If dark humour helps to get you through the tough times, let's go with that!

You bring you, I'll bring me and we can figure it out together.

My Values

• Kindness is central to the way I work.

When we're struggling, our inner critic often becomes louder, and self-compassion can feel difficult to reach. Together, we can explore where that inner critic comes from and take small, manageable steps towards treating yourself with greater kindness and understanding.

• Respect is about recognising that you are the expert in your own life.

I won't make assumptions or give you advice on what to do. Even if things feel confusing right now, you are the person who knows what it's like to be you. My role is not to have all the answers, but to help you explore what matters to you and what feels right for your life.

• Honesty is about being real with one another.

I'll be open and genuine with you, sharing my thoughts and reflections with kindness and care. If something feels difficult to say, I'll do my best to approach it with compassion, because I believe honesty helps us build trust and create opportunities for change.

• Free 15-minute Chat

I offer a free 15-minute chat so you can ask questions and get a feel for how I work before deciding if therapy with me is the right fit for you.

• Standard first counselling session (60-minutes) - £60

A chance to get to know each other, talk about what's brought you here and explore what you'd like from therapy. We'll go at your pace, and by the end we can decide together whether ongoing sessions feel right for you. Counselling appointments thereafter can be booked and paid for as you go.

• Single Session (90-minutes) with resources included - £100.

Some people prefer to  book a longer initial appointment to focus on a specific issue. This can be attended as a one off appointment or followed by 60-minute counselling sessions. 

We can discuss which appointment might work best for you during your free 15-minute chat.
