About Rachael
Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist with eight years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She works with people who feel worn out, stuck in anxious thought loops, or haunted by past events. Rachael aims to create a space where someone can feel heard and begin to make small practical shifts.
Her style is conversational and down-to-earth. She listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and offers practical tools as well as space for reflection.
Background and approach
Sessions can include talking, breathing and body-focused techniques, or guided hypnotherapy when that feels right. Rachael draws on a mix of methods so the work can be tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps unpack repetitive thoughts and behaviours.
Psychodynamic ideas look at where patterns began. Client-centred principles keep the focus on what matters most to the individual. She often supports people coping with trauma, grief, anxiety and depression, and those managing neurodiversity or relationship strain.
Rachael also works with sleep problems, obsessive or compulsive patterns, panic and the emotional after-effects of abuse. Practical goals tend to include better emotional regulation, clearer boundaries, and calmer daily routines. She encourages a steady pace and collaborative plan so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises, thought records or behavioural experiments that can be done between meetings to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and tackle repetitive thinking patterns.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access thoughts and feelings with more ease. In this context it can help with stress, sleep issues and shifting habits. The therapist will explain the process and check comfort before using any guided techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed over time and adjusted according to what helps most.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well for low bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
