About Rachael
Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist with eight years of practice. She draws on several approaches to help people who are worn down by anxiety, trauma or the lingering weight of loss. Her way of working is straightforward and calm.
She aims to create a space where people can talk and start to feel more steady again. Rachael commonly meets people who feel exhausted by constant worry or by memories that won’t let go.
Background and approach
She listens and asks clear questions to help uncover patterns that began in earlier life. Sessions can include practical tools to reduce anxious thinking and techniques to settle the nervous system. Her training includes trauma-focused work and methods that look at how past relationships shape present behaviour.
She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to untangle unhelpful thought loops. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic thinking are offered for people who want to access deeper material at a measured pace. Rachael also adapts the approach for people who are autistic or who have ADHD.
She aims to tailor sessions to each person rather than following one fixed method. That can mean using short practical steps or working more slowly on feelings and memories. People often come with concerns such as panic, phobias, obsessive behaviours, grief or difficulty sleeping.
Rachael works with those issues and with relationship and family strains, focusing on gradual change and clearer coping skills.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the pace set by the person. Online sessions using this approach give space for reflection and for people to say what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change those loops; online CBT sessions often include exercises and homework you can do between meetings. Hypnotherapy works with attention and relaxation to help access different ways of responding to memories or habits and can be offered remotely in guided sessions for people who want deeper, focused work.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will discuss options and try methods that match your needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change over time and she will check in about what helps and what does not, working collaboratively to find the best fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still accessing the same therapeutic ideas and tools used in person.
