How I Support My Clients
Rachel Johnson | Adv, Dip | MBACP Registered Practitioner
I'm Rachel, a dedicated counsellor passionate about helping individuals navigate their healing journeys. Through years of experience and personal growth, I’ve developed a deep understanding of trauma, mental health and the resilience of the human spirit.
Tailored Therapy to Meet Your Needs
As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs, drawing from cognitive (CBT), psychodynamic, attachment, relational theories and concepts. However, I am also guided by Trauma - Informed Care, which means I help clients heal by addressing the root causes and not just the symptoms. I can offer either short-term focused counselling/therapy or longer-term, more in-depth psychotherapy based on your presenting issues and requirements. The sessions will adapt to match your pace and goals, whether you're seeking immediate relief or long-term exploration and growth.

Why I Love What I Do.
My love for counselling stems from the privilege of walking alongside individuals in their healing journeys. I’ve witnessed the incredible resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of therapy. Seeing my clients grow, heal and reclaim their lives is what inspires me every day. Helping people find hope, even in the darkest of times, gives me purpose and fulfilment in my work.
My counselling journey began as I transitioned into a role where I could support others in their healing journeys. As a cancer survivor and BRCA1 sister, I’ve found a passion for empathising with and supporting others facing similar challenges. Through my involvement in cancer support groups and addiction recovery support groups, I’ve been inspired by the resilience of the human spirit. My belief in the transformative power of post-traumatic growth is deeply rooted in my own healing journey. I’ve come to understand that while trauma can be immensely difficult, it also offers an opportunity for profound personal growth. Guided by this belief, I’m committed to supporting clients as they navigate their own paths towards healing and empowerment, offering compassion, understanding and hope along the way.
