About me

Dr. Rachael Neall
BA (Hons), MSc, DClinPsy

I have a strong desire to help people overcome their difficulties: I offer therapy in a warm, safe and non-judgemental space using individualised evidence-based approaches.

I have spent my working career fine tuning the most effective interventions for the individuals I work with-learning and developing my practice continuously. This has led to a focus of attending to both mind and body when addressing mental health and well-being and if appropriate incorporating Yoga practices within Psychological Therapy. I am driven to work with people rather than 'diagnoses' and am most interested in helping people to understand and break unhelpful patterns and build self-care into their lives.

I have worked with many people trying to function whilst coping with the debilitating symptoms of trauma. I aim to provide a safe space to help people process traumatic experiences in the most containing way, so that these memories have less power over peoples' current and future well-being.

I recognise personally and professionally the power of awareness and re-connecting with what really matters in our lives, especially when life has taken some difficult turns and so I also focus on values in my work. I find by doing this, it can really help motivate making positive change.

I believe working with individuals to tune into what that person needs, is really important. However, from my experience I find that well-designed groups can really help with healing. I find the humour, shared experiences, encouragement and skills coaching helps to validate and energise. I therefore like to run groups and workshops combining a mind and body approach to help with a range of difficulties.
