Rachael Davies, BACP, NCPS

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach, and clinical hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom who specialises in trauma, loss, and complex emotional responses. With eight years of experience, she works with people who often appear to manage day to day life while still carrying the hidden weight of past experiences, persistent anxiety, or patterns that no longer serve them. Rachael combines compassionate listening with practical tools to help clients feel safer in their bodies, clearer in their relationships, and more able to trust their own inner guidance.

Her practice draws on a broad range of approaches so the work can be tailored to each person. She uses client-centered methods to create a supportive space, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, and trauma-focused and psychodynamic approaches to gently explore how earlier experiences shaped present responses. Rachael also integrates hypnotherapy, solution-focused tools, and somatic or mindfulness-based exercises when these feel useful for regulation and change. She is informed by neurodivergence when working with autistic adults and people with ADHD, adapting interventions to individual needs.

Rachael offers help with many presenting concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, bipolar, ADHD, self-esteem issues, relationship and family problems, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, domestic violence, guilt and shame, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic and phobia, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse. Her style emphasises pacing the work to each person’s readiness and using a mix of reflective, practical, and deeper subconscious approaches as appropriate.

Rachael holds credentials with BACP and NCPS, indicating professional registration with recognised counselling bodies. She works in English and draws on her training in trauma-focused therapy and hypnotherapy to inform her practice. She is not currently accepting new clients.
