Welcome !
Welcome to my website
Hi, welcome to my website.
My name is Rachel, I am an experienced qualified Counsellor. I understand choosing a counsellor can be tricky so i will try not to overload you with lots of jargon and try to keep it simple.
I work in a really naturally with my clients, building what I can only describe as a real and empowering connection. With a connection, trust and a safe space we have the right combination to explore, challenge and support any needs you may have.
Saying something out loud can be a powerful experience, but saying it out loud to someone who is actively listening can change your outlook altogether. We can break down any barriers you may have, challenge thinking patterns or unpick emotions that come to the surface, helping you find a brighter and more fulfilling way forward.
I work with a vast range of mental health challenges including ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, self-harm, suicide ideation and neurodivergence to name just a few, with both adults and children.
I have found in life I haven't fitted into the normal boxes society expects, but have learnt that it's not always necessary to fit others expectations. Embracing differences can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. I encompass the same belief in my counselling world. Counselling doesn't always fit everyone and can be daunting to start, but I am happy to work with you to tailor an experience that suits all your needs, as an individual in a way that feels comfortable for you. I work both online and in person, with each brining their own unique benefits.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me :)

Life can be difficult, hard, challenging and to be able to have a confidential safe space outside of your social norms to discuss what it's really like for you can be life changing. To be truly heard and supported, not judged, or criticised can offer a different dimension to how you feel and the choices you make. Allowing yourself the space to grow in areas that may have been overlooked can be liberating.
With this in mind I provide a safe, secure, affirming space where we can work together building an empowering connection to help identify and navigate your emotional wellbeing and resilience. I can help by providing tools to support growth and resilience and give you a greater understanding of how your mind works whilst bringing you a greater sense of internal peace. If you cannot believe in yourself right now, I am willing to believe in you, until you can believe in yourself.
Counselling can be provided either online or face to face in my office in Royal Wootton Bassett.
Please feel free to browse my services and email me if you’re interested in working together.

Clinical Supervision
I am currently a supervisor in training. Working as an integrative counsellor with both adults and children. I am on my way to being qualified and now working with supervises. I can accommodate online sessions or face to face at my office.
A relationship is one of the biggest foundations for counselling and clinical supervision. I believe we can build a trusting collaborative relationship, a learning environment in which you can grow and develop professionally.
I wonder how often you reflect on the things you would like from supervision?
Why not send me a message and we can arrange a time to discuss your needs and how i could help support them.

I look forward to meeting you. Together, we can embark on a journey towards a better you.
