Rachael Davies, BACP, NCPS

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom.

About Rachael

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach and clinical hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She has eight years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Rachael focuses on helping people who feel worn out by ongoing stress, anxiety, low mood or the lingering effects of trauma and loss.

She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical. People are invited to talk about what is most pressing and try tools that help with day-to-day coping.

Background and approach

The work can include talking therapies, practical strategies for calming the nervous system, and hypnotherapy where appropriate. Rachael adapts her approach to each person. She draws on client-centred conversations to build trust, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and deeper psychodynamic work to look at recurring patterns.

Sessions also use solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals. She has particular experience supporting people affected by trauma, domestic or sexual violence, grief, and long-term mood conditions. There is also a neurodivergence-informed element to her practice for autistic adults and adults with ADHD, tailoring methods to individual needs.

Rachael describes her role as listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and working at a pace that feels safe. Her aim is to help people feel more settled in their bodies, less overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, and clearer about the next steps in their lives.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Rachael uses client-centred work to create a respectful space where you set the pace and the focus. This approach helps when you need someone who listens and reflects back what matters most to you.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical steps that change how you feel day to day. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and many stress-related problems.

Hypnotherapy is offered as another option to support relaxation and to work with habitual responses that feel stuck. It can be used alongside talking therapies to help with sleep, anxiety and managing bodily tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences, and will try different methods to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they are useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions, or people who are more comfortable writing than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
