Hi, Im Rachel ...

Hello! I'm Rachel — a therapist, mentor, and mother-of-four navigating life with a neurodiverse family, a much-loved dog, and a supportive partner. Our blended home is full of energy, emotion, and heart — and it’s from this lived experience that my work is rooted.

 

Like many women, I’ve moved through single parenthood, divorce, and the complexities of raising children in a world that isn’t always kind to difference. As a neurodiverse woman raising neurodiverse children, I bring a deep understanding of emotional overwhelm, resilience, and the power of support — not just from training, but from walking the path myself.

 

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in education — as a secondary teacher, primary SENCO, and safeguarding lead. I saw firsthand how families, children, and staff needed more than policies and curriculum — they needed real emotional support, tools for regulation, and spaces to feel heard.

 

My Approach

At the core of my work is a belief in emotional intelligence and self-awareness as the foundations for lasting well-being. My approach is holistic, nurturing, and gently empowering — always tailored to the unique person or group in front of me.

 

I now work across four main areas:

 

1. 1:1 Support for Adults

I offer bespoke sessions using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), coaching, mentoring, and other therapeutic tools. Together we navigate anxiety, overwhelm, identity shifts, trauma, and emotional blocks — always at your pace, with empathy and practical tools to help you move forward.

 

2. Workshops, Groups & Practitioner Trainings

From monthly EFT Circles to in-depth training for aspiring EFT Practitioners, I hold welcoming spaces for growth, learning, and healing. My group work blends tapping, mindfulness, coaching, colour therapy, and more — always with heart-led connection at the centre.

 

3. Supporting Children & Young People

My work with children and teens supports emotional literacy, confidence, and resilience. I use playful, trauma-informed approaches — especially EFT — to help young people process big feelings and feel more in control of their inner world. I also work closely with parents and carers to extend that support at home.

 

4. Well-being in Schools, Workplaces & Community Settings

I collaborate with schools, organisations, and wellness venues to bring emotional health into everyday spaces. Whether it's EFT sessions in schools, mental health workshops in workspaces, or local wellness events in beautiful venues, I love co-creating experiences that are grounding, empowering, and meaningful.

 

I’m here to walk alongside you — whether you're a parent, practitioner, teacher, teen, or someone simply in need of a soft place to land. You don’t have to do it alone. Together, we can explore tools, build emotional resilience, and reconnect to who you are beneath the stress and stories.

 

Let’s make lasting change — together.
