About Me: Rachel Nelson

​

My path into counselling has been well considered and carefully undertaken. I care a great deal about my clients and take pride joining each and every person on their unique journey.

I am honest in my communication and in the way that I work, I believe that in this way we can build a strong and trusting relationship.

​

My person-centred training enables me to work with you at your own pace and style, ensuring that the sessions are comfortable and right for you.

Person-centred counselling is talking therapy, but more than that it is a time when you are truly heard and supported, wherever you are in that moment.

​

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk). I abide by their ethical framework including an ongoing commitment to professional supervision. I undertake regular professional development to broaden my own experience and to better understand my clients' needs. I hold full insurance for my practice and my counselling premises. I am happy to discuss any aspect of this on request. 

​

Alongside my private practice, I have experience of working within a drug and alcohol support programme, a secondary school setting and within the film industry.  I have a strong interest in trauma along with the relationship between our experiences and combined physical and mental wellbeing.
