About Rachael
BACP, NCPS counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist with eight years' experience. Rachael Davies focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and loss, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, plus coaching. She works with adults who feel stuck by past events or ongoing anxious patterns and who want practical ways to feel steadier.
Rachael describes herself as a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist. She uses a mix of talking, practical tools and gentle subconscious work. Sessions often include ways to calm the nervous system and short exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Her approach combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early patterns began. Hypnotherapy is offered as a way to access deeper mental habits when that feels appropriate.
Rachael has specific experience supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence, grief, obsessive thoughts, panic and post-traumatic stress. She also adapts work for autistic adults and people with ADHD, and addresses issues such as shame, control and attachment wounds.
In practical terms she offers a steady, question-led style. Expect reflective conversation alongside short exercises and, where helpful, calmer-body techniques. Rachael aims to move at the client’s pace when addressing painful memories or trauma-related material.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions use conversation to clarify what matters and to explore feelings and choices, which can help with grief, anxiety and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In remote sessions this often involves short exercises, thought records and action plans that people can practise between appointments to manage panic, OCD symptoms and low mood.
Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and focused attention to access deeper mental patterns. When used alongside talking therapies it can support work on trauma responses, sleep problems and ingrained habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may combine methods over time to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and they allow for shorter check-ins or longer exploratory meetings depending on what a person needs.
