About Rachael Davies

Rachael Davies is a counsellor, coach, and clinical hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom who focuses on trauma, loss, and the everyday struggles that can leave people feeling exhausted and disconnected. With eight years of practice, she supports people who present as ‘‘fine’’ on the surface yet carry persistent anxiety, intrusive thought loops, or the lingering weight of past experiences. Her work combines practical tools with depth-oriented exploration so clients can feel more at ease in their bodies, safer in relationships, and better able to trust their own judgement.

Her training includes clinical hypnotherapy alongside a trauma-informed background that allows for flexibility in how therapy is delivered. Rachael draws on cognitive and psychodynamic ideas to untangle unhelpful thinking patterns and to trace where difficult relational patterns began, while also offering somatic and mindfulness-informed techniques to help regulate the nervous system. She is a member of professional bodies and holds the credentials BACP and NCPS - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is a recognised professional counselling credential.

Rachael works with people affected by anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, neurodivergence such as autism or ADHD, and the aftereffects of abuse and trauma. Her approach is collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, drawing on a mix of talking therapies, therapeutic tools, and subconscious work to match what feels most helpful for each person.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work and What to Expect

Rachael Davies commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas alongside clinical hypnotherapy when working with people online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours - it is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and low mood by offering practical strategies and coping skills. Psychodynamic therapy explores how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence present-day reactions, which can be helpful for long-standing relational difficulties, attachment issues, and understanding recurring emotional responses. Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access subconscious resources and support change, which some people find useful for managing trauma-related symptoms, stress, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods to try first, adapting the pace and style to match individual goals, preferences, and needs rather than applying a single model to everyone.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, and mobility needs, and they allow people in different parts of the United Kingdom to access licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel.
