Rachel Tillett

My working hours are:

Monday to Thursday between 9am - 7pm

​How I work

I will listen to you. With compassionate guidance and objective insight, I aim to help you gain clarity and develop the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges. Our work together will explore your past, present, and future, and may include practical exercises and strategies that have benefited others. While the process can be demanding—requiring honest reflection and a willingness to question familiar patterns—we will move at your pace, with your personal goals at the heart of our work. Emotional responses are a natural part of the therapeutic journey. Your openness about these reactions can deepen our work and lead to meaningful insight. Throughout, I will be alongside you, grounded in the belief that growth and change are possible.

Experience

I'm a qualified counsellor and registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) working in private practice. I have worked for non-profit organisations supporting people struggling with anxiety and depression, living with disabilities, loneliness and bereavement.

Previously I worked in a small publicly funded law firm which supported young people and adults facing criminal charges. My background spans various roles—manual, managerial, employed, and self-employed—which all inform my approach to counselling.

Counselling can help you to explore many aspects of life, some of the common experiences of people I work with are as follows:

* Anxiety & Stuckness * Confidence & Self-Esteem

* Depressive & Low Mood * Estrangement

* Loneliness & Abandonment * Loss & Bereavement

* Major Life Events * All Relationships Issues

* Work Stress

Working Together in Sessions

You might be here because something has happened, or perhaps things just don’t feel quite right. People come to counselling for many reasons—anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship challenges, or low self-esteem.

What matters most is feeling safe and understood. My aim is to offer a supportive, confidential space where you can talk openly and be met with respect and acceptance.

Like you, I’ve faced my own challenges—which means I offer compassion, not judgment.

My Counselling Room

I want you to feel comfortable during our sessions. My therapy room is tucked away from the roadside, filled with natural light, and features a big, cosy chair. It's on the ground floor with a bathroom just next door.

°Õ³ó±ð°ù±ð’s off-street parking, secure bike storage, and a bus stop nearby for easy access.

​Introductory Call

I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone or online session. This is a chance to talk a little about what’s bringing you to counselling, ask any questions, and see how it feels to speak with me.

If we decide to work together, we’ll agree on a weekly or bi-weekly time that’s reserved just for you. I’ll send all the details by email ahead of your first session.

First Session

In our first session, I’ll gently guide you through some questions to help me understand your background and what you hope to gain from therapy. You are the expert on your life—my role is to support you with the counselling process.

Sessions last 60 minutes, with a gentle reminder five minutes before the end so we can close our time together with care.
