Rachael Davies, BACP, NCPS

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist with eight years' experience supporting people through trauma and loss. She focuses on helping those who feel caught in anxious loops, overwhelmed by strong emotions, or worn down even when life looks stable from the outside. Rachael aims to create a space where people can talk about what feels stuck and begin to find small, manageable changes.

Her background includes advanced trauma-focused training and a mix of therapeutic methods. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to untangle unhelpful thought patterns and psychodynamic thinking to look at where some long-standing patterns began. Hypnotherapy and solution-focused tools are also options she uses when they suit a person’s goals.

In sessions she listens carefully, asks practical questions, and works at the client’s pace. This can mean practising techniques to calm the nervous system, reflecting on difficult memories gently, or building new ways of coping for daily life. The pace and mix of approaches are guided by what the person finds most helpful.

Rachael also adapts her work for autistic adults and people with ADHD, aiming to make sessions clearer and more accessible. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed as her professional registrations. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are conducted in English.

If someone wants to begin, they use the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule with the therapist according to availability. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rachael’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person name what matters most, which can suit concerns like grief or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural changes, which can be useful for anxiety, panic and everyday stresses.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions can shift between reflective listening, practical CBT tasks, or gentle hypnotherapy work if that suits the person’s needs.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work around family and daily routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It can also suit people who prefer working from a familiar setting or who want to avoid long journeys. Registered or accredited professionals adapt sessions to each person’s life and needs, helping integrate therapy into day-to-day routines.
