Rochester
I work with people of all ages to overcome what I like to call the stuck factor or writers block in their lives. It's quite a broad term, but when we're stuck we can feel angry, withdrawn and far from happy. I help people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression or sleep deprivation, leaving them feeling stuck, lost and or under confident and in need of a helping hand to get back in control of their lives.

I had a few sessions to cure my phobia of flying. I'd been to a few other people first, but Rachel managed to not only get me on a plane, but also looking forward to getting on the plane, something my family had never imagined happening. Yes, I would recommend to friends and family. More...

I worked with Rachel over the course of 2 months. When I made the first appointment, I wasn't sure what Solution Focused Hypnotherapy was, I'd never heard of it, but I'd tried CBT and counselling, which had failed and I was desperate.
I wish I'd known about Solution Focused Therapy before. I didn't cry, and I didn't feel sad at all, every session made me feel relaxed and amazing and I was able to start feeling better almost immediately.
Rachel is very friendly, and made me feel so welcome, she is truly a life changer.

What do you love most about your job?
I love watching clients change from shy, tired and unhappy souls to blossoming characters who are ready to take on the world and able to cope with whatever they put their minds too. It's so rewarding facilitating that change and knowing the changes they make now will stay with them for life. We work quickly too, much faster than many other therapies, so the rewards come very quickly.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I used hypnobirthing techniques when I had my children, and after a motorbike accident, I was left with nerve damage in my leg. I didn't realise it at the time, but I started using the pain management techniques I'd learnt from hypnobirthing, and eventually learnt to control the pain, allowing my to stop taking pain medication.
I taught for 10 years, and saw the effects that poor mental health has on both adults and young people and wanted to make a difference in their lives, a difference I was already making by using Solution Focused Therapy techniques in the class room.
I'd seen so many colleagues and students break under the stress and worry they were unable to cope with and after teaching many of them different solution focused coping techniques, I decided that I should spend more time helping people who felt lost or hopeless.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'll make you smile, I won't make you cry and you'll start the feel the changes very quickly. Together, we don't need to look at the past, we work on helping you cope with life now, giving you tools to work towards your goals.
