Rachel Gallagher - Person Centred Counsellor
Hello, I am Rachel, a person centred counsellor supporting children, young people and adults.
I have worked as counsellor in schools since qualifying including individual long term and short term therapy as well as group work.
I also work with adults through other local agencies. I have done a lot of work with Bradford Bereavement Services and have a wealth of experience in this area.
I work mainly from a person centred approach but draw on lots of different methods, particularly creative ones. We may use art or nature in our sessions to help you to express yourself creatively.
I am a great lover of the outdoors, nature and animals and believe these can often be a part of our healing. As an alternative, I also offer walk and talk sessions where we will use the outdoors as part of the therapy. There are many benefits to working outdoors and clients can often find it less intense than traditional forms of counselling.
I will work collaboratively with you and together we will create a warm and safe place for you to explore what’s been going on for you. My approach is non-judgemental and I work in a kind and understanding way, led by you the client.
It may be that you have something specific that you wish to bring to counselling or you may just need a safe place to start to untangle your thoughts and feelings. Each session will be tailored to you and your individual needs.
