Although Rachel loved working in the police and supporting victims of crime, she moved to Cornwall with her husband to start a new life. After moving, she worked in senior retail management, including payroll, forecasting, personnel, and leadership.
Her favourite roles involved leadership, training, and helping others develop their careers. During several years of leading large teams and managing stores, Rachel's key roles were always people-orientated.
She has an in-depth knowledge of legal regulations and requirements, ethical standards, compliance management, human resources and GDPR.
Rachel has counselled clients across all gender groups with varying abilities and disabilities and a range of emotional and psychological needs. She focused on supporting front-line workers and forces personnel to overcome their struggles with gender socialisation. She also specialises in working with clients being wired for war and never being unwired.
Rachel has created and led counselling projects for other organisations and was an HR Director at a male-specialised counselling organisation. She is the proud creator and trainer of the Domestic Violence & The Cost Of War Training Package and the Life After Loss Training Package.
She creates content and individual courses for colleges and universities in her specialist areas while also delivering Specialist Counselling Retreats in Cornwall twice a year.
In her spare time, Rachel manages an organisation specialising in supporting and developing the counsellors of tomorrow.
She engages in continued professional development each year, is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and works to their ethical standards.
She is a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor, REWIND practitioner, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP.)
We have several qualified counsellors who work with different trauma areas and are passionate about supporting others.
