About Rachael
Rachael Bentovim-Gill is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of work in private practice and many more years in related mental health and education roles. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addiction. She also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting, grief, career strain and compassion fatigue.
Before private practice she worked for over 15 years in mental health and education. She also spent 25 years in senior roles within education, mentoring and coaching teams and advising on mental health matters. That background informs how she structures sessions and offers practical support.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. She uses client-centred ways of working and brings in mindfulness and psychodynamic elements when helpful. Sessions are adjusted to the person’s needs rather than following one fixed method.
In session she focuses on naming emotions, looking at relationship patterns and strengthening practical coping skills. That can include clearer communication, routines for sleep or eating issues, and strategies for managing mood swings or overwhelming feelings. She also offers coaching-style support for professional and executive concerns.
Rachael aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. She encourages people to talk through what matters most and to set achievable steps between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through difficult emotions and recurring relationship patterns. It is often used when feelings are hard to put into words and when attachment patterns affect how people relate to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current bonds and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed or adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it easier to continue work while balancing family, work or study commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can suggest which session rhythm and length will best fit a client’s aims.
