About Rachael
Rachael Bentovim-Gill is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders and relationship concerns. She works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, grief and parenting challenges. Rachael describes a practical, down-to-earth approach that aims to help people manage day-to-day life and cope with big changes.
She draws on a mix of therapies to suit each person. Sessions may include techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural approaches and attachment work.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and some psychodynamic ideas are used when they help the individual’s goals. Rachael holds NCPS as a credential and has four years practising as a therapist in independent practice. Before that she spent over 15 years working in mental health and education, and has 25 years advising and coaching teams at a senior level in education.
That background informs her practical coaching style. In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about honestly. She focuses on what a person needs to lead a more fulfilling life, and adapts each session to those objectives.
Rachael emphasises collaboration and steady progress. Her practice supports people who want help with building coping skills, improving relationships, managing mood and working through traumatic experiences. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies and respectful guidance.

How Rachael’s approaches work online
Rachael uses approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people tackle painful experiences and find more workable ways of living. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of traumatic events and reducing their hold on daily life through gradual, guided work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and focus on valued action, which can help with anxiety, depression and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachael will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adapts the plan as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect that fit busy lives. Video calls let people use verbal and visual cues for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These formats make it simpler to schedule regular sessions, continue coaching between appointments and access support from different locations.
