Rachel was incredibly helpful in making me understand my inner feelings and unleashing childhood trauma I didn’t know I had. She listens to you speak your heart away and always gives insightful, positive advice to help you realise your inner light. Thank you for all your help Rachel! More...

Molly
Counselling
After going through my first couple years of university with unhelpful patterns of negative and self defeating thinking, I can only say I wish I had found Rachel sooner! Rachel really helped me to understand the patterns of negative thinking that were, at the time, affecting my ability to cope at university, and then worked with me to develop practical skills that I could use to challenge and overcome them. No doubt I shall be using these skills for life! She is very patient and empathetic but also constructively challenging when she needs to be. I found this combination of approaches very helpful. I’m now in a place where I feel much more in control of my thoughts and emotions and more confident in my ability to face any challenge that life may throw at me in the future. Thanks Rachel :) More...

Nimisha
Therapist
I'm so delighted to have met this therapist via bark. I posted a few details and they got back to me straight away. I have had a few therapists in the past and never seemed to have got over my issues that I've had for at least 20 yrs. I'm incredibly grateful to have a highly trained therapist who really understands me and just gets me and knows exactly where I'm coming from. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. So grateful, like a guardian angel really! More...

Sam
Rachel is amazing. She really helped me deal with my health anxiety and OCD . The tools she provides are life long. I have reduced my anxiety so much and I am having my last session next week.
Its only been 8 months. I am surprised it took such a short time. Other programmes didn't work for me but she's a good therapist who definetly gave me hope.

Susan Burnett
Bereavement Counselling
I found a lovely counsellor whose name is Rachel, as soon as I heard her comforting voice I decided to engage her. I had lost my wife Dec 23rd 2022 and was in a sad and lost lonely place, but as soon as we had our first meeting on WhatsApp I knew I made the right choice. She's helped me so very much, n for sure I will go back again if I need more help, she's very much a professional, but not just that I felt very safe n could speak to her about lots of feelings, thankyou. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone, Sue x More...
