Welcome to my page. My name is Rachel Stafford and I am a fully qualified counsellor and member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists). Acknowledging that we are struggling can often be a very daunting, overwhelming and a scary place to find ourselves in.  I am very mindful that the fact you are reading this now, means you have taken that first step to seek help from a counsellor. 

Knowing you are not alone and having the chance to talk to someone who is trained to listen, without judgment, can be profoundly helpful. Talking about our emotions and how we truly feel can often bring such clarity to our lives and a real awareness of self, to help us sow the seeds of change.   I’m here to provide just that. I aim to provide you with a professional, safe and therapeutic space to explore what is happening in your life.  I work empathically and non-judgmentally, with honesty and integrity.  

Finding the right counsellor for you is an important part of your journey.  It is not easy to open up and put your trust in a stranger, but it is my belief that with the right counsellor, you can begin to experience the benefits that a therapeutic relationship can have on your life.
