Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist with eight years' experience supporting people through trauma, loss and persistent anxiety. She works with individuals who feel worn out, stuck in anxious loops, or haunted by old experiences. Rachael aims to help people feel steadier in their bodies and clearer about what they want next.

Her practice draws on several approaches so the work can be tailored to each person.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most, and cognitive behavioural techniques to unpick unhelpful thought patterns. Hypnotherapy is available as a gentle way to access deeper change when appropriate. Rachael often helps people process grief, the after-effects of abuse, and long-held patterns that began in earlier relationships.

She also supports those managing mood differences, ADHD and the practical strains of day-to-day life. Sessions may include practical tools, reflective conversation, and paced work through difficult memories. Her style is calm and curious.

She pays attention to how a person feels in their body as well as what they say. The aim is to find practical steps that reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of safety and agency. People are invited to move at their own pace, try different methods, and shape the work as they go.

Rachael works from the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. It involves attentive listening, reflecting back what matters and helping people set their own goals. This approach supports those who want a steady, respectful space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and straightforward tools to reduce anxious loops and unhelpful behaviours, which can be practised between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and panic symptoms.

Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and focused attention to help access deeper mental resources. In online sessions it can help with symptom reduction, habit change and calming strong emotional reactions when the client feels ready.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can help people reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, while keeping the focus on meaningful, manageable change with registered or accredited professionals.
