Hello. Thank you for being here. I really appreciate that you landed on my page.

My name is Rachel and I am a qualified, registered psychotherapist living in South Wales. I studied the Postgraduate Diploma: Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of South Wales between 2020-2023. I have since taken a break to have a baby and have returned from maternity leave working within RFB Psychotherapy; my private practice.

I understand that seeking counselling can be scary territory. We end up here from feeling lost, trapped or navigating life’s unexpected events that can leave us feeling uncomfortable and unhappy. I want you to feel safe, heard and seen. I deliver my practice with great warmth, empathy and confidentiality.

For the past 11 years, I have worked within education across both state and private sectors. I have extensive knowledge of toxic work cultures, burn out and adverse childhood experiences. My research in university was underpinned by the themes of narcissistic abuse, coercive control and childhood trauma. I thereby am able to support individuals who may be experiencing this, or have experienced these themes historically.

My experience in counselling so far has been working with adults navigating workplace stress, burn out, domestic and sexual abuse, anxiety, grief, depression, suicidal ideation, adverse childhood experiences and more recently, with children and young people.

As an integrative therapist, I have a vast skillset and work within a synthesis of modalities that enables me to uniquely utilise my ‘tools’ to the individual, making each experience tailored to you. I work collaboratively with you to enable agency and build a strong working relationship which is important for your healing journey.

If working with me sounds like something you would like to explore, please use the ‘Contact’ page on this website to reach out.

I’m really glad you are here.
