I have availability for online and face to face sessions - please get in touch for times/dates available

I’m a Person-Centred therapist offering a steady and supportive space where you can explore life at your own pace.

I work with adults from all backgrounds and a wide range of support needs. Alongside my professional training, I bring lived experience to my work in areas including family and relationships, cancer, OCD, neurodiversity, intrusive thoughts, and supporting women who are childless.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and navigating its ups and downs isn’t always easy. You might be struggling with your mental health, facing challenges from the past or present, or just sensing that something feels "off" but not knowing why.

I’m Rachel, I have over 18 years experience as a counsellor and 15 years working in mental health, I truly understand both the challenges and the transformative power of therapy—because I’ve been on both sides, as a client and a therapist. You don’t have to figure things out alone. If you're ready to take that first step, let’s do it together.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and navigating its ups and downs isn’t always easy. You might be struggling with your mental health, facing challenges from the past or present, or just sensing that something feels "off" but not knowing why.

I know that reaching out can feel daunting, and taking that first step is often the hardest part. But you’ve already made it this far, and that’s a big deal. If you’re wondering whether therapy might help, I’d love to invite you to get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute consultation—just a relaxed chat to see if we’re the right fit and how I can support you.

I offer one-on-one counselling for adults 18 and over, tailored to whatever’s on your mind. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or just need a space to talk things through, our sessions will be shaped around what works best for you. It’s a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself, explore what’s going on, and work towards the changes you want.

Face to face - ​Sessions are held in my safe and comfortable therapy room based in Walton on the Naze

Walk & Talk - These sessions are held in Walton on the Naze and the surrounding area​s. This approach involves you and I taking a walk on a carefully selected and safe route instead of sitting in the traditional therapy room. You may have tried face to face therapy and found it didn't work for you? It's not uncommon to struggle with finding the right words to say in therapy, and walking side by side without the pressure of making eye contact can be helpful for some individuals.

Online/video calls - These remote sessions offer convenience, flexibility and accessibility for all, and it offers the same level of support and confidentiality as traditional, in the therapy room, sessions. It allows you to access support from the comfort of your own home or wherever you may be.

Our first contact will be a free 15 minute phone call, where we can discuss what your needs and goals for counselling are, and what I can offer.

If we both agree that we would like to work together, we can establish when and where our first session will be. Each session thereafter will cost £65 and is 50 minutes.

Our first session is when we talk through what you are looking for in counselling, what your hopes are for the sessions and what's brought you to therapy. I can answer any questions you might have and tell you more about how I work as a therapist. I ask questions about who you are, what you are all about and assess how we might go forward building this therapeutic relationship. The first session is a chance for us to see if we can work together and if its the right fit for us both.
