Holistic Counselling
& Body Psychotherapy
Find empowered clarity about yourself, your thinking and emotions, and how increasing awareness of your ‘internal world’ can improve your external experience such as relationships, creativity and wellbeing.
Are you…
Struggling with a situation?
Feeling stuck in your personal history?
Lacking a sense of direction?
Yearning for more depth of meaning?
Unhappy with an aspect of your life?
Let’s explore the source then identify techniques to dissolve their hold on you so you can become the self you want and deserve to be. Let’s liberate you so you can create your desired future.
I will help you to…
-
Learn more about yourself and why certain areas of your life aren’t going as expected and discover how to respond to challenges with equanimity rather than drama or disappointment.
-
Find more autonomy, wellbeing and useful tools or nuggets of truth that you can carry throughout your life and use when times are tough to manage stressful situations more effectively.
-
Directly experience emotions in your body and learn how to let them guide you to recognise what you need and how to get your needs met either by yourself or by others so you feel more fulfilled.
-
My holistic approach addresses your whole system, enhancing your experience of the connectedness between mind, body and spirit so you feel calmer and more in charge of your thoughts and feelings.
-
Conducting relationships becomes less fraught when challenges arise and you will notice your ability to positively influence how you and others feel, creating a significant ripple effect.
-
Combining holistic counselling with energy healing promotes balance in your whole system to assist you to release stress, personal history issues and make space for clarity and contentment.

The Aware Living difference
Holistic approach
I use a range of techniques to support you to find relief from life’s stressors, including energy balance, art therapy, physical movement, etc. I include energy balancing in all appointments to involve your whole system in the healing process.
Personalised services
I offer a tailored approach to self-growth that is led by you. Each time we meet, I will carefully listen as you let me know what’s working for you and what isn’t. Together we’ll identify what will support you best in order to find positive change.
Experience
I have a strong foundation of academic study and research including the publication of articles, as well as twenty years’ experience of informal and formal holistic counselling (body psychotherapy) together with energy healing. Learn more
“I can talk to Rachel and not feel judged. It’s a relief to share burdens with someone who understands.”
Jim
“It’s good to be able to find my own answers through Rachel’s guidance.”
Carol
“Rachel asks questions that I would never have thought of and they really get me considering things differently. Now when I get caught up in a problem I ask myself “What would Rachel ask me about this?” and I usually find my answer!”

My integrative approach is to enhance the interconnection between clients’ psyche and body so they feel more present and empowered.
