Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy in the UK, with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, self esteem, confidence & depression.
The aim of counselling is to offer you a safe, confidential environment to explore your issues and find a way forward. My role as your counsellor is to support you through this process, without giving you the answers, advice or making judgements.
I see the counselling relationship as a collaboration between the two of us. The collaboration begins to grow from the beginning, with safe and confidential boundaries put in place. As I start to offer you my warmth and non-judgemental attitude, you may find that you start to feel safe enough to open up, face your fears, and explore your emotional difficulties with me.
I use an integrative approach to counselling. This means that I integrate parts of different counselling therapies (Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) into my practice with my clients. I think deeply about what parts I decide to incorporate into your counselling, depending on your own needs, and my knowledge and expertise in counselling helps me to tailor my counselling, to suit you as an individual.
I facilitate a supportive relationship. I do this by listening without judgement and by not telling you what to do. I help and encourage you to find the answers. Supporting you in this way means that you can develop the necessary skills and tools to help you solve your own problems and move forward.
Exploring your issues in a safe place can help you to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Having a deeper understanding of yourself means that you can start to gain self awareness. With this new found knowledge of yourself, you can then change old patterns of behaviour, develop coping mechanisms and realise when your thinking is unhelpful, or distorted.

Rachael Walker is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) in the United Kingdom and has 5 years of professional experience. She works with people facing a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence difficulties, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, family and parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, career worries, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She practises as a female therapist and offers a supportive therapeutic presence.
Her aim in counselling is to provide a safe space where clients can explore their concerns and discover a way forward. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process – establishing clear boundaries from the outset and offering warmth and a non-judgemental attitude so clients can begin to open up, face their fears and work through emotional difficulties. She does not give answers or tell clients what to do but supports and encourages them to find their own solutions.
Rachael uses an integrative approach, drawing on Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She considers which elements to weave into the work based on each person’s needs and her clinical judgement, tailoring the counselling to the individual. By listening without judgement and helping clients develop practical skills and tools, she aims to support increased self-awareness, the recognition of unhelpful thinking patterns and the development of healthier coping strategies so old patterns can be changed and progress can be made.
Many people ask whether counselling delivered online can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability helps therapy fit around work, family and other commitments and can make regular sessions easier to maintain.
Therapists who offer online work are licensed professionals, and if a different fit is needed it is possible to switch to another therapist. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible and practical option to get the support they need while balancing the demands of daily life.
