“I thought it would take months of sessions but after my second session with Rachel I felt like I was walking around lighter. It was an incredible feeling to click with someone so quickly. I felt Rachel was extremely professional and listened so well.”

Rachel was so easy to talk to. She made the process simple and explained it to me to a point I felt instantly comfortable. I felt I could talk and share straight away with her. I felt safe and this was most important for me. We started at once a week then after a few months we went to every two weeks. The process was led by me and what I needed. This made me feel I had control over my own process. It was an amazing experience and I can't thank Rachel enough. I will definitely return in the future if I feel I needed further sessions. Ratcliffe Therapeutic Counselling left this open and up to me which makes it so comforting.

“The sessions were really really beneficial. I couldn’t have asked for more to be honest. Went in feeling like shit and now I am so upbeat. Rachel was so easy to talk to. Thank you again.”
- R
“Don’t show emotions - I’ve heard it so much throughout my life. When I did feel like crying or I couldn’t cope, I’d kick myself for being weak. Working with Rachel made me realise it’s okay to ask for help. It doesn’t make me any less of a man to have and show emotions.”
- B
“Rachel was very good. She helped me so much. I could have kept going but wanted to work face to face and this wasn’t available at the time. Please pass on how much Rachel helped me. There is nothing I could say that was negative. Thank you so much.”
- D
“She was very good, helpful and so patient. She has such a gentle voice I felt safe and comfortable with her. Thanks for being so patient with me.”
