About Rachael
Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She has eight years of practice helping people who feel exhausted, stuck in anxious loops, or still carrying the effects of past hurt. Rachael aims to make sessions a place where people feel seen and heard without judgement.
She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Rachael also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar-related concerns, sleep problems and struggles with self-esteem. Her work includes practical tools as well as space for reflection, depending on what someone needs that day.
Rachael uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to each person. That can mean talking through unhelpful thinking patterns, gently exploring earlier relationships that shaped current patterns, or using hypnotherapy to access deeper change. She describes her practice as collaborative and paced to the individual.
Clients may bring experiences such as domestic or sexual violence, attachment wounds, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, panic attacks, phobias, or self-harm history. Sessions can include short-term, solution-focused work or longer exploration of how past events affect present life.
Her role is to listen carefully, ask practical and reflective questions, and help people find ways to feel safer in their bodies and relationships. People who want varied methods rather than a single technique may find her style helpful.
How Rachael’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space so people can speak openly about what matters to them. Online sessions using this approach keep the emphasis on being heard and on building a trusting working relationship.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can include talking through situations, trying new responses between sessions and using simple exercises that fit into daily life.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support change at a deeper level. In an online setting this can be useful for working on sleep, anxiety symptoms or settling the nervous system when someone is ready for that kind of work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels doable, and then try methods together to see what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit around family, school or work commitments, or helpful when they prefer a shorter check-in that does not require travel. Others like the option to use tools and exercises between sessions to support progress in everyday life.
