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 shape my approach around your individual needs, drawing on CBT, psychodynamic, attachment and relational theories. I’m also guided by trauma-informed care, which means creating a safe, steady space to talk about difficult experiences without causing harm. My focus is on gently exploring the root causes of what you’re carrying, not just the symptoms, to help make your load feel lighter.
Depending on what you need, we can work together in short-term, focused counselling or longer-term, in-depth therapy. Sessions will always move at your pace and align with your goals.

Why I Love What I Do.
My love for counselling comes from the privilege of walking alongside people as they make sense of their pain and begin to heal. Seeing clients grow, find their voice and reclaim parts of themselves is what inspires me every day.
As a cancer survivor and BRCA1 sister, I know how suddenly life can change and how isolating that can feel. I’ve run a cancer support group and now work with people in addiction recovery settings, where I’ve seen the strength people carry even when they feel at their lowest. These experiences have provided a belief in post-traumatic growth and inform the way I work with every client.
