Hello, I’m Rachael and I am a Relational Integrative Counsellor offering short and long term therapy to adults in the centre of Bath. But what does this actually mean?

Well, the relational aspect of my approach means that I am interested in the dynamics of the relationship we create between ourselves, together with the relationships you form outside of our counselling relationship, with others and we could even go as far as to say the world itself. How we relate to ourselves and others will be something that features in our work together.

As the title suggests, my integrative style of working is influenced by a number of different approaches. The core of which include, Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches and aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This is further complemented by my growing interest in mindfulness meditation which I practice in my personal life and may feature as part of our work together if desired. Whilst my background in training and personal development offers the opportunity to introduce some useful coaching skills into our work if that feels right.

Together, our work might take us to your past, present and future. We will explore your hopes and expectations, reveal your thoughts and assumptions. Between us, we will discuss what it is that brings you to counselling and where would you like to go with it. Essentially, I am interested in you as a living, breathing person, and the changes you might like to introduce to make your life look like how you want it to look.

In regards to the business side of things, I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means I am committed to working with you in a way that is professional, ethical and respectful. It also means that I embark upon ongoing training and personal development, and attend regular Supervision to remain up to date in developments within the field and within my own practice.
