Relationship Issues Counselling in Budleigh Salterton
I believe strongly that good therapy is all about the relationship between the therapist and the client: its a unique thing and personal to each of us.
Good therapy is about change: changing reactions, behaviours, a difficult aspect of self, challenging attitudes/beliefs about yourself or your story. I love working with clients who are prepared to jump in, take risks and seek solutions - this is the way to ensure real change. I will jump in and risk too. I value being human and involved in the therapy and am also practically minded and view the best wisdom as something that can directly be applied to life. A supervisee recently described me as "real, relational, ordinary, practical and not floaty/wispy". I like to incorporate psychoeducation and relevant theoretical information.

Coming to counselling can feel a little daunting; sharing some of our private thoughts and feelings with someone that we do not know can be hard and can feel a little strange. I will help to make you feel comfortable and at ease by offering you a safe, confidential space for you to talk openly, and at a pace that suits you. I am committed to ensuring that you will feel heard, accepted and understood and I will make every effort to appreciate what it is like to be you and to help you understand your feelings and emotions.

Hello, I'm Rachael. I provide a safe, secure place, where you will be able to talk about your thoughts and feelings in confidence, without the fear of being judged. I know the thought of having counselling can be daunting, but I will help you to feel comfortable and relaxed.

As a fully qualified counsellor, psychosexual and relationship therapist and supervisor I offer a fully confidential, non-judgemental and integrative approach to general sex therapy for couples and individuals with evidence-based and humanistic models, which support working through life challenges whilst gaining awareness, tools and confidence of self.
Sometimes we may feel that everything we experience in life is difficult, challenging or simply doesn't make sense anymore. The amount of pressure we need to handle every day combined with all these repressed and unprocessed memories of things we never dealt with can easily lead to many psycho-physical issues. We all possess physical, mental/emotional and sexual healths. When our physical health needs attention, we go to see a doctor. Sadly, we often disregard the latter. We think we can handle it all, where in fact we are getting weaker, less resilient to adversities and prone to negative feelings & reactions.

Though I work with all aspects of emotional and mental health and wellbeing, I have a special interest in communication, relationship and pre&post-natal issues, either with individuals or couples.
Welcome! I have been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist since 1998 and work as a supervisor too, with practices in Exeter and London and online. I believe that many of our difficulties develop due to our early life and past experiences, including trauma. We repeat patterns in our lives hoping that things will get resolved. Sometimes these patterns are unhelpful to us. Therapy offers, in a confidential and safe space, the possible facilitation of being able to recognise these patterns and approach them from a new perspective. (more detailed information can be found on www.psycho-dynamic.co.uk)

Psychosexual therapy can explore a range of areas including: exploring your relationship with sex; ejaculation and erection difficulties; loss of desire/libido; pain during sex (vaginismus, dyspareunia); difficulty reaching orgasm; sex after children; body image; achieving your sexual goals; issues with pornography; relationship conflict; shame; and illness.
Sex can sometimes feel like a taboo topic, making it feel pretty uncomfortable to talk about. In particular, it might feel overwhelming or scary to be vulnerable and share our difficulties surrounding sex. However, the sexual self is unique to each person and evolves through the lifespan. This means that is normal to experience changes, challenges and difficulties connected to intimacy at some point in your life. I aim to provide a supportive environment for you to explore your relationship with sex and find ways to move through feelings of stuckness.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
