Newbury Psychotherapy & Counselling
Hello, I'm Rachael
As a fully qualified integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, I am committed to working compassionately and honestly to help you achieve the changes you seek.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or unhelpful thoughts? Have you lost confidence, feel isolated, or are facing challenges in an important relationship? Do recurring patterns leave you feeling stuck or uncertain about what you want? Whatever your current challenges, starting therapy could mark the beginning of meaningful change. My goal is to help you find autonomy and clarity in your life.
We might look at your early experiences to see how they are impacting you in your current life, this is not to find someone to blame but quite often we carry unconscious emotions from our past because we were not able to process them at the time. We avoided those emotions in helpful and adaptive ways. Now, however, these ways do not serve us in our adult life. We will look at these patterns and explore life events and the historical roots of your difficulties with love, care and compassion.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work within their Ethical Framework
I am committed to ongoing personal and professional development and see a clinical supervisor regularly.
I offer face-to-face or online sessions, which can be long-term or short-term.
Therapies offered
Integrative
Integrative therapy is a holistic approach that combines different therapeutic methods to meet the unique needs of each person. It focuses on the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit—within their relationships and environment. This approach uses various techniques from different therapeutic traditions, like psychodynamic, humanistic, and behavioral methods, to help with healing and personal growth. By blending these perspectives, integrative therapy creates a flexible and comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each person’s specific issues and goals.
Attachment based psychodynamic therapy
Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is a focused form of talk therapy that aims to quickly uncover and address deep-seated emotional issues. It helps people understand the root causes of their problems by exploring their unconscious feelings and past experiences, leading to rapid and lasting emotional and behavioral changes.
