Rachael Bond

I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I believe that therapy can offer the opportunity to explore your experiences and difficulties, and understand what you need to feel, and live well. I am here to support and guide you towards improved self understanding.

I will meet you with acceptance and a non judgemental attitude. I offer a calm, safe space in which to support you. We will work at a pace and in a style that is right for you, on the issues that are most important to you.
I am a Person Centred practitioner, which means that my work is centred around your goals or desired outcomes. I adopt a Holistic approach, and can help you consider how the environments in which you live, work and spend your time may affect your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

With a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Social Science, I came to a career in counselling later in life after my own experiences of change, uncertainty and loss. I can work both short term (8- 12 sessions) and longer term (16 sessions or more) and will discuss with you how this work might take shape.

I help clients experience relief from symptoms of anxiety and depression, gain greater clarity around problems or causes of distress and find acceptance or peace around difficult events or circumstances.

I work with people feeling stuck, experiencing anxiety, loss, uncertainty and a desire to feel more confident, assured and resilient. I have experience of working in NHS and Charitable settings. I have supported clients experiencing anxiety, depression and bereavement as well as those wanting to improve well being. I have personal experience of supporting Neurodivergent individuals, and welcome working with those who recognise the characteristics in themselves. I also have experience of supporting people experiencing Sensory Loss.
