Compassionate counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist
About Rachael
Rachael Davies is a counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist who has worked in the field for eight years. She supports people carrying stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar challenges, and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse. Rachael also offers coaching to help with life changes and practical coping skills.
Her approach is flexible and straightforward. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and useful right now. Rachael combines talking, practical tools, and gentle hypnotherapy to help people settle their bodies and calm racing thoughts.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise each person's experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Psychodynamic ideas may be explored to understand how past relationships shaped current patterns.
Rachael pays attention to issues often linked with neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, and adapts the pace and tools where needed. She also works with relationship strain, family problems, sleep difficulties, obsessions and compulsions, panic, phobias, and self-harm concerns. People who come to Rachael often want a calm, steady space to make sense of painful memories or confusing emotions.
She listens, asks practical questions, and helps build small steps that make daily life feel more manageable. The work moves at each person's pace and is shaped around their goals. Rachael is registered with the BACP and listed with the NCPS.
She offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and uses a range of approaches chosen to meet each person's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rachael commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and uses hypnotherapy where helpful. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person, which helps when someone needs space to be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours to identify patterns and try small experiments to change them. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to access calmer states and support change in habits or emotional reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and pace. She checks in about what is or isn't helping and adapts the mix of talking, practical strategies, reflective exploration and hypnotherapy as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face style session. Phone sessions can be a good fit when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can work for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when someone wants shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or other commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
