My name is Rachel and I'm a Person-Centred counsellor, working integratively using knowledge I have of other theories to help you in the way you need. I believe that you are the expert of yourself therefore we work as a team to help you. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and honest space for you talk freely and grow.
I'm passionate about the power of therapy and how it can transform someone's life. I have seen it personally and through the clients I've had. No issue is too big or too small to ask for help.
I grew up in the church and also in a military family therefore I believe I have a unique set of personal experiences could that help others that have been or are in those two worlds.
I completed 4 years of training at college, going from Level 2 Counselling Skills through to Level 5 Therapeutic Counselling. As part of these courses we had to complete 100 hours of placement counselling which I completed at a male prison. This was an incredibly rewarding experience, working mostly with trauma, addiction and childhood abuse.
I have also done additional courses on trauma, shame and guilt and eco therapy.
