Rachael Davies

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist with eight years' experience supporting people through trauma, loss and ongoing stress. She works with clients who feel worn down by anxious thinking, old survival strategies, or memories that keep returning. Rachael aims to help people feel calmer in their bodies, safer in relationships, and clearer about their own choices. Her approach combines talking therapy with practical tools. Rachael uses cognitive behavioural techniques to untangle thought patterns and psychodynamic ideas to look at where habits began. She also draws on hypnotherapy and solution-focused methods when helpful, choosing each tool with the client rather than applying a single model. Rachael often supports people dealing with grief, depression, bipolar difficulties, sleeping problems, and the lingering effects of abuse. She also addresses concerns related to ADHD, autism, attachment, control issues, and narcissism among other focus areas. Her work pays attention to the ways early relationships and traumatic events shape present behaviour. In sessions she listens closely and asks questions that help people see options. Some work is reflective, exploring past patterns. Other sessions practise skills to manage panic, obsessive thinking, or emotional overwhelm. Rachael describes therapy as a collaborative process. She adapts pace and methods to each person, offering a mix of talking, nervous-system settling techniques, and guided hypnotherapy when suitable. Her aim is to help people find gradual, sustainable change and more ease day to day.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on taking the client's experience seriously and following what matters most to them. Sessions aim to create space for a person to talk, feel heard and make choices that suit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce symptoms like panic, low mood or obsessive thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is done together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process may mean blending talking, skills practice or hypnotherapy depending on progress.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow a gradual return to deeper work at a comfortable pace. Some people find shorter check-ins help maintain momentum between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which practical format will best fit a person's schedule and therapeutic aims.
