Rachael Trainor Counselling
 

Welcome

​

​Life can be incredibly challenging at times, pushing us beyond our usual capacity to cope. When distress begins to affect how we live or relate to ourselves and others, seeking support is a not only understandable, but also a courageous and important step. You don’t have to face things alone.

​

I’m a qualified, BACP-registered counsellor with experience supporting clients through a wide range of difficulties. I offer a warm, down-to-earth, and compassionate approach, working at your pace and in a way that is respectful of you as a unique individual.

​

​​Why you might seek counselling

 

​Emotional distress can show up in many forms. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, confused, numb, stuck or depressed. You may be struggling with relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief or the long-term effects of trauma, to name but a few. Equally, you might not know exactly what the problem is, but you know that things just don't feel right.

 

Whatever you're going through, your experience is valid and deserving of care and attention.

​​

How I can help

 

I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore your inner and outer worlds, helping you make sense of what's going on for you. This may mean looking beneath the surface of your current concerns to understand the deeper patterns that could be affecting your wellbeing.

​

I’ll walk alongside you, helping you to safely process difficult emotions, life events, or unresolved issues. I aim to support your emotional resilience while also making space for you to rediscover who you are, beyond the struggle.

 

Where helpful, I'll offer gentle challenges, new perspectives, psycho-education and tools to empower you in making the changes that feel right for you.

 

Most importantly, I'll work together with you to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in genuine connection, safety and trust, where you can feel truly seen, heard, understood and accepted for who you are.

​

Starting therapy takes courage and commitment, but as an investment in you and your life,  it's profoundly worth it...
