Welcome, I’m Rachael (she/her) an experienced person-centred psychotherapist (UKCP registered).

Over the years, I’ve worked with many people from differing nationalities, social and cultural backgrounds, as well as differing ages, genders and sexualities. Throughout my rich practice experience, I’ve grown to deeply value the infinite variety of reasons bringing people to therapy.
Whatever brings you here, at this moment, is welcome. You could be considering working with me due to a specific issue. Equally, you could be considering therapy due to a less defined issue(s) that’s troubling you. Perhaps, you’re experiencing a vague sense of discontent within yourself and/or being in the social world that’s more difficult to piece together.
In my therapy practice, I aspire to provide a caring, consistent and respectful environment where you, as a person, and the ways in which you express yourself are met with warm curiosity and patience. In our sessions, we can explore what’s most relevant for you at your pace. Collectively, this can help you tap into your personal resources for building a more fulfilling, authentic life. This prizing and uniquely shaped environment may come as a relief considering we live in a pressurised, complex world often demanding perfectionism, certainty and uniformity.
As your therapist, I perceive my role as being an empathic companion, valuing all of you and your personal experiences. Alongside being an empathic companion, I’ll respond to you with authenticity and consideration to help you freely get in touch with your voice and personal capabilities. Through us working together, there holds the potential to develop a more satisfying relationship with yourself which, in turn, can provide the foundations of change for your life outside of our 50 minute sessions.
Regarding the practicalities of meeting, I offer sessions from my Dalston practice room as well as on Zoom and the telephone. I work with many clients in the Hackney area, London and the UK more widely.
