Rachel Spence MBACP (Registered)

Hello I'm Rachel, a qualified, experienced counsellor and a registered member of the BACPCP. I am passionate about my work and care deeply about helping people. Talking really can and does help at difficult times in our lives.
I believe in the healing and transformative power of the therapuetic relationship where you will be accepted, not judged and within which I hope you will come to feel safe and trusting enough to explore all of your feelings, even the difficult ones. I will listen carefully to enable me to understand your world as deeply as I can as if I were looking through your eyes. I believe in and acknowledge you as the unique person you are and as such that you are of infinite value. There are many reasons for deciding to seek counselling; difficulties in your past and present with relationships, life events and your feelings and thoughts. I can help you make links between your life experiences and how you feel and think today which can promote healing and empower you in the present. Most importantly therapy is a place where you can be with me just as you are and that it will be a privilege for me to be allowed into your internal world. |

I am now working exclusively online and with telephone, I have training for and experience in these therapy platforms. I offer Zoom, WhatsApp, FaceTime and telephone. There are many benefits to this type of therapy:
- It is entirely convenient for you and gives you greater control over how and where you engage with therapy.
- It is a way to have therapy anywhere in a place that is comfortable and safe for you. You can be in your car if this is a more private and confidential setting for you, all you need is a sufficient internet connection.
- Travelling, holidays, work shift patterns are more flexibly accommodated.
- For those with a lack of mobility , physical and mental health issues online therapy can be more accessible.
- It is safe at this difficult and uncertain time, with technology you can still have a space in which you can connect even when around us the world and our environment is smaller and for some isolating and lonely.
- You have a greater choice of therapists as you are not limited geographically.
