I've already written this before but I am really thankful to Ms. Davies. I've already had some therapy experience but this is the first time I feel like I've found my therapist - a person who is highly professional but also very kind and caring. I have a huge progress since we are working together. Thank you, BH for making a difference.

Is this you?

- You areliving with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or the emotional weight of past experiences that make everyday life feel overwhelming.

- You feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, no matter how hard you try to break free.

- You feel lost, emotionally drained, or unsure of how to move forward.

If any of this feels familiar, you're not alone. I work with people who are struggling with the after effects of trauma, abuse and loss.

I am a counsellor, coach, and clinical hypnotherapist who specialises in trauma and loss. I support people who are struggling with the emotional impact of difficult experiences, whether recent or from the past, and help them find ways to feel safer, stronger, and more in control of their lives.

I have completed advanced training in trauma-focused therapy, and I use a range of different approaches to suit each person I work with. This means we can find a way of working together that feels right for you - whether you need space to talk, practical tools to manage anxiety, or help processing painful memories in a safe and gentle way.

My role is to listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and accompany you on your healing journey. We’ll work together to:

- Process trauma (such as narcissistic or childhood abuse, domestic or sexual violence)

- Reduce anxiety, panic, OCD, or PTSD symptoms

- Break free from limiting patterns

- Learn healthier boundaries

- Rebuild self-worth and rediscover your voice

My Approach & Expertise:

I blend therapeutic techniques to meet your unique needs, including:

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to challenge unhelpful thoughts

- Psychodynamic insights – exploring early relationships and experiences

- Solution-Focused techniques – to build practical progress

- Mindfulness-based tools – to cultivate calm and self-awareness

- Neuro Linguistic Programming - to identify and change unhelpful patterns and behaviours

- Adapting therapy for autisitc adults and adults with ADHD

This flexible, tailored approach helps us to co-create a healing path that resonates with your priorities, pace, and personality.

Why Work With Me:

- You want a therapist who specialises in trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm

- You would love to find a space where you can be truly heard, seen and understood

- You are looking for someone with advanced qualifications in trauma, grief and working with neurodivergence

- You want therapy that is right for you - not a one-size-fits-all protocol

Ready to Start?

If this resonates, I’d be honoured to work with you. Healing is possible and you deserve to feel held, safe, and supported as you step into a more fulfilling life.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Better Help has been absolutely life changing! Rachael has supported me greatly in my journey towards self acceptable. She is always listening and never judging. Rachael has ensured that I feel comfortable and safe to explore my emotions with her. She has provided helpful insights and given me useful strategies to use in my daily life. I can’t thank her enough for the support she has given me.

I´ve tried therapy before, both online and offline, before being matched with Rachael, and I had no idea it could be this helpful. I´m making so much progress with literally every session. I can text Rachael any time during the week and she always makes sure to reply super fast. I never feel judged or dismissed. Very happy with the therapy I´m receiving

I've met a few more therapists before and thought that everything is like it should be. But when I started to work with Ms. Rachael Davies I realized that this is what therapy should be like. Together we find progress and solutions. I am very grateful for her help and support!
