I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society. I work with adults experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and shame-related issues.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed psychological therapy, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), tailoring my work to each person’s needs.

In key leadership roles, I have supported the development of mental health and staff wellbeing services across the NHS, higher education, and local justice sector. I am also a senior lecturer, deliver Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for organisations, an experienced MHFA instructor, and provide supervision to other professionals in reflective practice and professional development.

I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, make sense of them, and gradually build confidence and self-compassion. Whether feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or wanting to enhance your emotional wellbeing, I work alongside you to navigate challenges and create positive, lasting change.

Hello, thank you for visiting this page. 

I’m Rachel and I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to talk about and explore what’s going on for you.  We work together at a pace that suits you and I will encourage you to think about self-care and what you need – a difficult question!  We will look at the strategies that you use and may be able to update these together, increasing self-awareness and your sense of self.

I offer one-to-one in person at Lifeways, as well as on-line and telephone sessions. 

I offer a free 20 minute consultation (telephone or online) where you can tell me a little about what you would like support with and ask any questions you have.

Hello and a warm welcome! I'm Meghan - and I work with adults and young people from age 15. I am a trans-and-gender-expansive-affirmative therapist, I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent clients, and my formal training in the performing arts gives me deep insight and experience to support artists and performers. I support people navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, domestic violence and abuse, and substance use. My practice is grounded in creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space that honours each client's identity and lived experience. 

As a person-centered, integrative, and social justice-oriented counsellor, I prioritise autonomy, emotional safety, and self-awareness. I draw on creative and flexible approaches, tailoring therpay to each client's pace and needs. Through a trauma-informed and intersectional lens, I support resilience, authenticity, and self-determination, carefully helping clients reconnect with a clearer, more empowered sense of themselves.
