About Rachael
Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist who focuses on trauma and loss. She has eight years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Rachael aims to help people who feel worn out, stuck in anxious loops, or haunted by past events that still affect daily life.
Rachael offers a calm, steady presence in sessions and listens closely to what matters to each person. She uses different ways of working depending on the need, including talking therapies, practical tools, and gentle subconscious techniques. The tone is collaborative - she asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and adapts the pace so people feel able to share.
Her background includes advanced trauma-focused study, which informs how she approaches difficult memories and nervous-system distress. That training sits alongside approaches such as cognitive behavioural tools, psychodynamic reflection, hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques. Rachael also adapts her work for autistic adults and people with ADHD.
People come to her for issues like anxiety, panic, grief, depression, sleep problems, relationship and family strain, or the long-term effects of abuse and loss. She also supports people working through obsessive patterns, phobias and self-harm impulses.
In practical terms she aims to help clients feel more at ease in their bodies, safer in relationships, and clearer about their next steps. The work usually moves at the client’s pace and can include short-term focused work or deeper exploration over time.
Approaches used in remote therapy and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people feel heard and builds trust so they can talk about hard things. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and unhelpful loops. It is often used for worry, panic and low mood. Hypnotherapy works with gentle focused attention to help shift unhelpful habits and reduce nervous-system tension, and can be useful when someone wants to work with bodily responses as well as thoughts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through different options and try things together to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process where goals, preferences and pace shape the plan rather than a single fixed method.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or make it easier to access support from home. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises so they work well when you are not together in person, helping therapy sit alongside day-to-day routines.
