More about Rachel

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

Hello, I'm an experienced NCPS-accredited counsellor and I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings, aiming to address self-limiting beliefs and boost your self-esteem. My person-centred approach is complemented by psychodynamic and CBT techniques as needed to address patterns shaped by past experiences, and the development of intrusive thoughts and patterns of behaviour. Whether you’re facing significant life challenges, struggling with feelings of sadness, fear, or confusion or just feeling stuck in your life, we can explore these issues together to build self-awareness, clarity, and confidence to move you forward to a better future. I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bullying, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, social communication challenges, relationship problems, LGBTQ+, addiction, and self-harm. I also support individuals pre- and post-diagnosis with autism, ADHD, specific learning difficulties, & mental and physical health conditions.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
