My aim is to create a safe space through psychotherapy. A space where you can write your own story, free from pain and the preconceptions of how you should be feeling. For me, psychotherapy is a partnership where we each bring our own expertise: you, about your own life, feelings and life direction, and me, about mental health and psychology.

My ‘soft-skills’ such as empathy and compassion originate from my personal experiences in physical and mental health, as well as from being a mother, a woman and a human being, facing the 21st centuries uncertainties and paradox of digital hyper connection and interpersonal loneliness. After a childhood spent in France, I have lived in many places across the globe and I like to bring an international mindset into my work.

​

My ‘hard-skills’ come from my counselling level 4 training and my Masters’ Degree in Clinical Psychology. It has taught me to understand psychological challenges through the interaction of one self with a cultural and family heritage and a social and political environment. I have specific knowledge in the fields of maternity, trauma, physical illnesses, and bereavement.

​

Counselling and psychotherapy is far more than a job to me. It is my true passion and my way of participating in making this world a better place.

Overcoming an array of personal obstacles means I am able to have deep empathy for you and encourage hope. Whether it be grief and loss, parental separation and divorce, relationship issues, coping with a loved one suffering with cancer or any mental/physical illness or struggling with lack of direction and self-esteem.

My personal insight comes from growing and learning through my own difficult experiences. The struggle is real and unfortunately inevitable but what you think and feel is valid and deserves to be voiced. I truly believe that knowledge is power and that is why I want to share it with you. 

Through counselling, I want to listen to you, your experiences and your feelings. I am offering my authentic self and my knowledge to support you, to provide understanding and a safe space for you to be heard without judgement. 

I am now proudly part of the ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists). It has been an ever-changing road to get to where I am now, originally from the South-East of England and currently living in Mallorca.

I offer and recommend face-to-face sessions but also online if this is your preference. The first step is often the most difficult but you are not alone.

From a young age I was very unsure of my own identity and what I had to offer to the world. Growing up without my dad made me feel like I was a victim of rejection. Shyness crippled me and being bullied on multiple occasions resulted in a sense of loneliness and fear of sharing my inner world with others. Anger was a friend to me; I was angry at my dad for abandoning me and angry about my shyness.

As life went on, I learned to love, like and accept myself (both the good and bad aspects). This resulted in a freedom that I had never experienced before and gave me an appetite to help other people in their life.

You do not need to go through your difficulties alone. If you feel that I could be of help to you then please contact me.

Rachael joined The Gap Enterprises in May 2023 (part-time), as Gary's PA, and has been chiefly responsible for organising his time. Thus, Rachael assumed her duties as his 'bodyguard' with ease, taking control of his diary and ensuring that his time was protected to offer his best to clients.

However, Rachael's contributions to the business extended beyond 'babysitting' Gary! She has been instrumental in implementing systems and procedures to allow the business to operate more effectively. Rachael has also been a key player in organising the mental health charity events hosted by The Gap Counselling.

Indeed, we initially recruited her for these skills and talents, therefore, we are pleased to say that from December 2024, Rachael will join The Gap Counselling full-time, as the Operational Manager! Within this role, we foresee that Rachael will have the opportunity to fully utilise her obvious planning and organisational gifts, which will allow the business to have the right structure to grow organically, creating a wider service for our clients.
