About Rachael

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist who focuses on trauma, loss and sleep-related difficulties. She uses a mix of talking and practical tools to help people who feel persistently worn out, caught in anxious loops, or haunted by past events. Rachael presents herself as calm and attentive, offering space to notice what lies under the daily struggle.

Her work draws on a range of approaches so the sessions can be shaped to each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings psychodynamic perspectives to look at how old relationship patterns started and still affect day-to-day life.

Hypnotherapy and somatic methods are offered as options for people who want help settling the nervous system or working with deeper emotional material. Solution-focused tools and coaching techniques are used when someone wants concise steps to test out in everyday life.

Rachael has eight years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, sleep problems, ADHD and other concerns listed in her profile. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to what feels manageable.

Her style is responsive and collaborative. She listens, asks helpful questions and helps people try different ways of coping. Anyone interested is invited to begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing the short matching questionnaire.

How Rachael’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood; online sessions let the counsellor and client concentrate on what matters most and unfold at the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is about spotting thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes; this works well through discussion and homework tasks that fit into daily life. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and imagery to reach deeper states for symptom relief and processing, and some parts of that can be adapted to remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels doable, then try methods that suit the person. That may mean mixing talking, practical exercises and hypnotherapy techniques over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions into a busy day and making it easier to keep continuity between meetings. Online appointments can reduce travel time and help people try short check-ins or follow-up conversations when life is hectic. Because formats were not specified in the profile, confirm the exact session types offered before booking so arrangements match your needs.
