Anyone feeling the cold this week? ❄️

I know I am.... luckily I have a cozy room in the heart of Chepstow where I meet with clients and I can also offer online for those that want to have therapy from the warmth and comfort of their own home.

I'm Rachel and I am a registered mental health nurse, counsellor and EMDR therapist.

I specialise in supporting people who have experienced trauma, although I also support people with a range of difficulties, including OCD, anxiety, depression, bereavement and body image difficulties.

If you have been considering therapy but have been unsure who to enquire with, then please feel free to DM me on here to arrange a free 15 minute call to see if I could be the right person to support you. below is my website for more details too 🩵

stay warm everyone

❔So what does a therapy session look like❔

This is a question I get asked a lot and it is not a straight forward answer.

The reason it's not straight forward, is because I adapt my approach to every client and every session. This means every session is tailored to you, depending on what you bring, what you would like to work on and what approach may suit you best.

I am able to do this as I am trained in a range of approaches as both a mental health nurse and a counsellor. I am also an EMDR therapist. I don't work in a one size fits all way and love seeing clients progress and feel better in themselves, even when a different therapy or therapist has not worked for them before.

The most important part? You need to feel you trust and click with your therapist, if you don't feel safe and confident in your therapist, then no therapy is likely to work at all.

If you're interested in therapy, I am next taking on clients in November/December, so please get in touch if you'd like a brief free phone call to see if I could be the right person for you, and to be added to the waiting list.

Either DM me on here or email me on [email protected]

Did you know that I am also an EMDR therapist? But what is EMDR?

EMDR stands for 'Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing.'
It is a form of therapy that has existed since the 90's and is recommended in the NHS (via NICE guidelines) for treatment for people that have been through trauma.

It can be particularly helpful when someone finds it difficult to talk about their difficult experiences in depth and I have already witnessed it help several people to feel more like themselves again 🩵

Not interested in EMDR? I am also trained in a range of approaches for talking therapy too.
