Rachel Kilburn , BACP

Rachel Kilburn is a qualified integrative therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), bringing over 10 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and children. She combines practical therapeutic methods to create a personalised approach for each client, drawing on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused work, Transactional Analysis, and psychodynamic perspectives. This blend enables therapy that addresses immediate concerns while exploring deeper patterns that shape emotional life.

As a mother, wife, daughter, and granddaughter, she understands how life can feel unsettled and how that sometimes leads people to withdraw. Her style is warm, nonjudgemental, and creative, offering space for expression whether someone prefers talking, working through feelings in different ways, or connecting with their inner child. Rachel works at the pace that suits each person and supports clients through loss, change, and recovery so they can relate differently to past events and make positive decisions about the future.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and coaching. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, caregiver stress, control struggles, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and workplace challenges. The first session serves as the starting point for building trust and gathering the information that will guide a tailored therapeutic plan. Rachel aims to walk alongside clients through growth, helping them gain understanding and the confidence to embrace change.
