Rachael Coward
I am a qualified psychotherapist based in Newbury, UK, who offers individual therapy sessions both in-person and online. I holds a BSc in Counselling/psychotherapy from the University of Middlesex. I am currently undergoing specialized training in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).
My approach is integrative and relational, meaning I tailor my methods to suit each client’s needs. I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addiction, emotional neglect and attachment disruptions.Â
My practice offers a flexible fee structure, including reduced rates for those in financial need.

Fees and concessions
Please ask if my fee is unaffordable for you. I am able to offer some reduced fee slots, based on financial need and dependant on availability as I believe psychotherapy should be accessible to all. Please feel free to discuss this at our initial appointment or at any time during therapy should your circumstances require you to do so.
Individuals – £70 per session (60 minutes)
Trainee counsellors – £50 (50 minutes)
It is helpful to talk to a few therapists to find someone that is the right fit for you. Â For this reason I offer a half price first session to see if we want to continue working together.
Cancellations and missed sessions
I require a minimum of 24 hours to cancel a booked session, the full fee is payable if you cancel within this time. If you miss a session without cancelling , the full fee is due.
Where possible 1 month notice is helpful for holidays and breaks in therapy.
Where possible I will endeavour to give 1-month notice of any unavailability.
