​

Hello, my name is Rachel Roberts. I am an integrative counsellor and holistic therapist with over 20 years’ experience supporting people in their healing and wellbeing. 

​

My approach brings together counselling and an awareness of how the body holds emotions, helping you to explore your difficulties in a way that feels safe, gentle, and grounded.

I offer face to face in my clinic in Bideford or online in the comfort of your own home, where you can talk openly and be truly heard.

​

 Together we can explore the challenges you are facing and find ways forward that feel right for you.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs. I work relationally, meaning that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to the process of healing and growth. I also have a strong interest in body psychotherapy and the mind–body connection, which can be particularly helpful if you feel emotions physically (such as tension, restlessness, or exhaustion).

I have experience working with:

​

• Relationship issues and family dynamics

• Anxiety and panic attacks 

• Death anxiety, ageing, and life transitions

• Grief and bereavement 

• Trauma and PTSD

• Stress and low self-esteem

• Addictions 

​

Counselling sessions provide a confidential and supportive environment where you can bring whatever is on your mind. We may work with past experiences, present struggles, or hopes for the future. Sometimes the work is about gently untangling difficult emotions, and other times it’s about finding tools to cope day-to-day

​

Fees:

I offer a sliding payment scale. As I believe Counselling should be accessible to everyone.
