Nice to meet you, I’m Rach

At present, I enjoy working with adults and young children and their families, providing psychological support for a range of different life challenges.

I approach my practice with compassion, warmth, and genuine care. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel understood and listened to. I also find it useful to gently challenge my clients where appropriate to help them gain greater insight and foster lasting change. Through my collaborative approach, I help my clients to explore their relationship patterns and emotional experiences, encouraging greater self-awareness and guiding them towards achieving their personal goals. My primary areas of interest include:

·       Anxiety & Mood disorders

·       Attachment concerns

·       Relationship difficulties

·       Emotion regulation challenges

·       Self-esteem and personal growth

·       Perinatal mental health and parenting

·       Eating Disorders

·       Neurodiversity - particularly ADHD

In addition to the work I do in private practice, I also work for a non-for-profit organisation, Gidget Foundation, providing support to new and expectant parents in the perinatal period, and have previously provided support to parents across various parenting programs, and facilitated group therapy for adults with various mental health challenges.

“Being trusted to walk alongside someone as they share and make sense of their story is such a quiet, but meaningful privilege, and it is one I feel deeply passionate about.”

In 2025, I decided to start my own private practice to create a more balanced and meaningful life, both for me and my clients.

Committed to “practicing what you preach,” I engage in regular self-care to maintain my own well-being and strongly believe in cultivating a good work-life balance, recognising that it directly enhances my capacity to support others. Outside of my professional life, I cherish time with my beautiful daughter, partner, family, and friends, relaxing at the beach, sharing a delicious meal and exploring new places together.
