I am an experienced Humanistic counsellor and am passionate about the positive changes therapy can bring. Sometimes our lives become overwhelming, complicated and confusing and problems get bottled up. A skilled listener can help you explore your thoughts, behaviours and emotions to help gain understanding, insight and clarity. This can lead to more positive choices, renewed resilience and feeling more in control again. I believe that the counsellor/client relationship is at the heart of successful therapy, so I aim to establish a warm, trusting, safe and non-judgemental space where you feel confident to express your concerns.

My approach to counselling is humanistic integrative and I’ll draw on various theories and models in our work together, tailoring my approach based on what we discover works for you and always working at your pace.
Hello and welcome. I’m Rachel, a Dorset based counsellor who provides therapy for adults (age 18+). I believe that we all deserve someone who can listen to us with compassion and without judgement when we need it. That’s where I come in. We aren’t supposed to do this alone. In sessions together I provide a warm and explorative space where you can be heard, understood and supported. Together we can make sense of what feels difficult in your world, bringing you deeper insight into your feelings, behaviours and relationships so you can live the best life you can.

I am a humanistic integrative counsellor who is experienced and dedicated to helping individuals maneuver through their difficulties and find a positive route to better mental health.
Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, yet it often remains misunderstood and stigmatized. Common mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders affect millions of people in the UK every year, disrupting lives and impairing the ability to function in everyday activities. Understanding these conditions and how best to treat them is essential for fostering a compassionate and supportive community. I have experience in supporting these common difficulties, with a qualified counsellor you can rest assured that your journey to better mental health will be at your pace.

Humanistic Counsellors
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualisation and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
