Counselling with
real-life understanding
Hello, I’m Rachel Rayfield. I’m an experienced counsellor who brings professional knowledge alongside real-life understanding. I believe its important to make space for the whole person in our sessions: your experiences, identity, relationships, strengths, challenges, and hopes for the future.
My practice offers compassionate, person-centred counselling that is tailored to your uniqueness. I work in an integrative, trauma-informed way, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic approaches while always meeting you with warmth, respect, and curiosity.
I can support you with experiences such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, narcissistic abuse, relationship difficulties, life transitions and caring responsibilities. I welcome clients who are exploring their experiences through an intersectional, LGBTQIA+, disabled, or neurodivergent lens.
Together, we can create a safe and steady space where you can make sense of what has happened, understand yourself more clearly, strengthen communication and boundaries, and move towards lasting wellbeing, personal growth, and meaningful change.
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed or burntout?
When Life Feels Overwhelming
Life can feel difficult at times, especially when past or present challenges leave you feeling fearful, disconnected, stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out.
You may be:
-
Recovering from abuse or trauma, including childhood, domestic, narcissistic, PTSD, CPTSD or other painful experiences
-
Exploring neurodivergence, seeking clarity around Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, Dyslexia, or understanding how diagnosis may relate to your experience
-
A parent or carer advocating for a child or adult, navigating education, health and care systems (EHCP) feeling exhaused, misunderstood and unheard
-
Caring for others while trying to recognise and meet your own needs
-
Questioning or exploring your identity, including LGBTQIA+ experiences, belonging, self-understanding, or acceptance
-
Living through major life events, changes, or transitions, such as menopause, divorce, loss, grief, etc.
