Really can't put into words how much these sessions really helped me. Had NHS counselling several times in the past. But what a truly complete different experience I had. Really felt listened to and never judged. I was able to open up and talk about things I have never spoke about before. I always came out of the shed felling my shoulders were lighter, maybe with a tear in my eye, but very relieved to be reassured that it was OK to feel how I do sometimes but it's how you move forward. Definitely highly recommended, great experience.

When I first visited Rachel, I had been left with little hope from previous therapists. Rachel listened, cared and adapted her approach to best help me. She has completely turned my mindset and views on life around. She gave me the hope I had lost and I will forever be grateful. Amazing lady and I cannot recommend her enough! Wish I had would have found her sooner!

Over the past 20 years or so, I have seen many counsellors who never really "got me or my problems". I was told by one to wear lipstick to make me feel better and many other equally ridiculous suggestions. I ended up telling them what they wanted to hear so that I didn't have to keep going. My son recommended Rachel & he was so convinced that I would get on with her, that he even offered to pay for the sessions himself. Given that he is single & saving for a house I knew that she must be good so agreed to give it a final try. (I didn't let him pay),
I am so glad that I did. Rachel made me face

I cannot recommend Rachel and her counseling enough, I have learnt how to better manage my intrusive thoughts and anxiety and am in a much better place than I was when I first went just a few weeks ago. She is so easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and I am beyond grateful to have come across her website when I needed it most. Opening up and talking is difficult for me but she cracked me like a nut and, I found it hard to stop! Rachel makes it such a positive experience and is so warm and welcoming. I would recommend to anyone and, if I could, I'd be there every single week going forward!

Couldnt recommend enough! Felt comfortable from the moment I walked in for the first session and walked out of the last in a much better place. So understanding and provided a completely different insight to everything. Plenty to take away from every session!

I would highly recommend the therapy shed.Rachel is a lovely kind caring lady who made both myself and my son feel at ease from the moment we walked through the door. I cant thank Rachel enough for her help with my teenage son. He was struggling with lots changes to his normal routine due to COVID . I didnt want to take him to the Gps and have him labelled so thought I would seek help myself.
Rachel has worked with him every week doing hypnotherapy. she has helped him to understand how his brain works, how to refocus and how to change the habits that he had been struggling with.
