Hello,   I’m Rachael. I’m an LGBTQ-identified Person-centred Psychotherapist (UKCP Registered) with ten years experience of working with clients.   I have extensively worked with LGBTQIA+ clients exploring their life experiences, sexuality and gender identities as well as working with clients who identify as asexual/ace. I have experience of working with clients who have wished to work with an LGBTQ-identified therapist to discuss life experiences not necessarily connected with their gender or sexuality.

I’m an integrative counsellor, working Monday afternoons and some weekday evenings, offering counselling at a competitive rate. I’ve been working for an LGBT+ charity, offering counselling to a range of LGBTQIA+ individuals for over two years, particularly with gay men and women, as well as trans, non-binary and gender-non-conforming clients.

With over ten years of experience in the field of mental health – seven as a counsellor and psychotherapist – I warmly invite you to explore my page to see if I might be of help. Integrating the Gestalt and Existential approaches to therapy, the space I offer is safe, down-to-earth, and collaborative.
