Rachael Davies, BACP, NCPS

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach, and clinical hypnotherapist who specialises in helping people carry less of the past into their present. She works with individuals who feel exhausted by low-level, ongoing distress - the sense of being worn out even when nothing dramatic is happening - as well as those who experience recurring anxious thoughts, old survival patterns that no longer serve them, or the lasting impact of traumatic events and loss.

With eight years of professional experience, Rachael draws on advanced trauma-focused training to offer a flexible blend of approaches. She uses cognitive tools to unwind unhelpful thinking and behaviour, psychodynamic ideas to explore where patterns began, and somatic or mindfulness-informed techniques to help clients reconnect with their bodies. She also integrates solution-focused and neurodivergence-informed methods and clinical hypnotherapy when these are helpful for the individual's needs.

Her way of working centres on careful listening, thoughtful questioning, and moving at a pace that feels manageable. Rachael supports exploration of emotional wounds from earlier relationships, patterns rooted in childhood, and the aftereffects of experiences such as domestic or sexual violence, always guided by the client’s readiness. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting professional training and membership of recognised counselling organisations. Rachael is based in the United Kingdom and is not currently accepting new clients.
