Rachel is a level 5 qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with a background in primary school teaching. She has a deep passion for supporting clients of all ages, including teens and young adults, through life’s challenges. Her approach is grounded in kindness, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves a space to be heard without fear of judgment.
