Rachel Gallagher - MBACP

I am a person centred counsellor working with adults, children and young people in the Bingley area. I work with anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, abuse, bereavement, self esteem and general worries that may be affecting your everyday life.

More about Rachel

Hi I’m Rachel a counsellor working in the Bingley area. I am an animal lover and a real outdoorsy person, even when it’s raining! I think that the outdoors can do wonders for our mental health and even a short gentle walk can help our mood.

I have a cat, George, some chickens and a cockerel called Wednesday. I find a cuddle with George can really bring down the stress levels or brighten a difficult day. The chickens are always providing a good chuckle with their antics.

I have worked with people of all ages from a range of different backgrounds. I have worked as a counsellor in schools since qualifying with children from age six upwards , working with individuals on both a long and short term basis, as well as working with groups.

I have also done a lot of volunteering for Bradford Bereavement and have a wealth of experience in this area.

What I offer

I offer counselling for children, young people and adults. I can offer in person sessions in the Bingley area or we can work remotely online or on the telephone.

As an alternative I can also offer walk and talk therapy for adults, sometimes it can feel easier to explore difficult things walking next to someone rather than sitting in a room.

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.

With children the sessions will be more play based and I have a variety of toys and resources that I bring to the sessions.

I work with a variety of different issues such as loss, relationships, abuse, stress, anxiety and depression. Sometimes though you might not know what exactly you need some support with, you just know something isn’t right and we can explore whatever it is that has been going on for you.

Sessions and Fees

Sessions are £50 and last 50-60 minutes

I offer a free initial phone call or zoom to chat through what it is that you are looking for and to make sure I am the right therapist for you.

Sessions can be in person or online/telephone and we can do a mix of both to suit your needs.
