Rachael Trainor Counselling
 

Welcome

​

When we experience hard times, our distress can challenge our capacity to cope and live life as we would like. At such times, feeling that we need some extra support is completely understandable and reaching out for help is such an important step. 

 

I'm an experienced BACP registered counsellor, dedicated to helping you work through your difficulties and reduce your distress, creating a path to positive change. 

​​

Why you might seek counselling

​

Our distress can show up in so many different ways and situations. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, confused, numb, stuck or depressed. You may have relationship problems, low self-esteem, have been bereaved or be dealing with the lasting impact of trauma, to name but a few.

 

Equally, you might not know exactly what the problem is, but you know that things just don't feel right. Whatever you're struggling with, it is valid and deserves care and attention.

​

How I can help

​

As your counsellor, I can offer you a warm, compassionate, relational space to explore your inner and outer worlds without judgement, enabling you to make sense of your experience.

 

I will be alongside you, helping you process difficult emotions or unresolved issues making space for new ways of being. I will collaborate with you, providing gentle challenge, different perspectives, psycho-education and suggestions where appropriate so that you can feel empowered to create a way forward that feels right to you.

 

Most importantly, over time I hope to build a therapeutic relationship with you based on safety and trust, where you can feel seen, heard, understood and unconditionally valued.

​

It takes courage and commitment to embark on therapy, but as an investment in you and your life,  it's profoundly worth it...
