Psychotherapy for Children, Adolescents and Adults

About me

Hi, I’m Rachel.

My psychotherapy approach is integrative, which means I use a mixture of techniques and draw from various schools of psychotherapy. Including; psychodynamic, person centred and trauma informed. We can work together short term or long term.

I create a safe space to explore all aspects of your life. This may include your childhood, past experiences, relationships and your life as it is now.

Before becoming a psychotherapist I worked in a variety of mental health settings. This includes supporting adults with a psychiatric diagnosis, being part of safeguarding teams in schools and running an inclusion service for vulnerable young people.

After completing my psychotherapy training in 2015, I have now been a practicing psychotherapist for over ten years. I have worked in various places such as schools, adult mental health services and my own private practice.

Young people and families

As a child and adolescent psychotherapist I offer individual sessions to children and teenagers ages 5-18. I also work in schools; primary, secondary and SEMH (special educational mental health) provisions. I work with children from all backgrounds. This includes children/adolescents with a recognised neurological condition, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

I work with parents and children together. This is a specific type of therapy to offer a space to understand each other and explore the dynamics of the relationship. This can be to all parents including, birth and foster parents.

Psychotherapy for adults

I often work with adults who have experienced trauma. I also offer therapy to anyone experiencing symptoms and feelings you might want to explore regarding your wellbeing and mental health. This may include feelings of depression, anxiety, general low mood and grief.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting and finding the right therapist for you can feel like a task. Please do feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have. I offer a 30 minute phone or video call consultation before a commitment to working together is made.

I am UKCP registered member and I work in accordance with their ethics, policies and procedures. I hold an enhanced DBS check.

Fees:

£75 for individual sessions (children, adolescents and adults)
