A space that's just for you

Life can feel overwhelming — especially when your brain works differently from the world around you. Whether you're navigating burnout, struggling with anxiety, questioning your identity, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a confidential space to slow down, make sense of things, and find your way forward.

Rachel is a BACP registered therapist with a specialist understanding of neurodivergence and the particular pressures of working in professional environments. Therapy is open to everyone — you don't need a diagnosis, and you don't need to have everything figured out before you reach out.

Individual Therapy

One-to-one sessions designed around you and what you're bringing, not a fixed script or programme.

Sessions are 50 minutes, held online, and work at a pace that feels right for you. Rachel draws on an integrative humanistic approach — which means she won't box you into a single model, but will work with the approaches that suit you best, guided by a fundamental belief in your capacity to grow and change.

Areas Rachel commonly works with include:

• Anxiety and stress

• Burnout and exhaustion

• ADHD and autism-related challenges — including masking, late diagnosis, and identity

• Self-esteem and confidence

• Career pressures and workplace difficulties

• Life transitions and feeling stuck

• Identity, belonging, and relationships

This list isn't exhaustive — if you're not sure whether therapy might help, please do get in touch.

Workplace & Corporate Therapy

Rachel works with organisations who want to do more than tick a box when it comes to neurodivergent employee wellbeing.

Whether you're looking to provide therapeutic support as part of a wider neurodivergent inclusion programme, or you want to offer confidential one-to-one sessions to employees, Rachel can work with you to design something that genuinely fits your organisation — not an off-the-shelf product.

This service works particularly well alongside Nurturing Neurodivergence's mentoring programme, offering a joined-up approach to supporting neurodivergent people in the legal sector.

To discuss a workplace programme, please get in touch directly.

Rachel's Approach

Rachel works from an integrative humanistic foundation. In practice, this means:

You are the expert on you. Therapy isn't about being told what to do or how to feel. Rachel's role is to provide a consistent, non-judgemental presence that helps you explore what's going on — at your own pace.

No one-size-fits-all. Rather than applying a single therapeutic model, Rachel draws on a range of approaches — including person-centred, psychodynamic, and CBT-informed techniques — choosing what fits best for you and what you're working through.

Neurodivergence-informed. Sessions are adapted to work with how your brain operates. There's no expectation that you'll communicate, process, or engage in a neurotypical way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a diagnosis to access therapy? No. Therapy is open to anyone, with or without a formal diagnosis. Many people come to therapy while they're in the process of exploring or seeking a diagnosis — or without ever pursuing one.

How is therapy different from the mentoring programme? They are entirely separate services with different purposes. Mentoring focuses on professional development and career support. Therapy is a confidential space focused on your emotional and psychological wellbeing. The two can complement each other, but they operate independently and with different ethical frameworks.

What can I expect from a first session? The first session is a chance for you to share what's brought you to therapy, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether working with Rachel feels right. There's no pressure to commit beyond that.

How long will I need therapy for? This varies from person to person. Some people find a handful of sessions helpful; others prefer longer-term work. This is something you and Rachel can discuss as you go — there's no fixed timeline.

Is therapy confidential? Yes. Everything discussed in sessions is confidential, within the professional and legal limits set out by BACP's ethical framework, which Rachel adheres to as a registered member.
