About Rachael
Rachael Bentovim-Gill helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders and a wide range of life challenges. She is experienced at supporting people with depression, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and addictions. She also works with issues around relationships, intimacy, parenting strains, grief and career stress.
Rachael holds NCPS as a credential and practises from the United Kingdom. Rachael draws on several well-known approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-based techniques to help people notice difficult emotions and respond differently to them.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded, with time for reflection and simple exercises to try between meetings. Her background includes many years working in mental health and education before moving to independent practice. That mix shapes a coaching style that pays attention to practical life demands as well as emotional patterns.
Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space for talking through problems and testing new ways of handling them. Rachael frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with people to set realistic goals and break problems into manageable steps.
That might mean focusing on routines for sleep and eating, building communication skills, or learning ways to reduce overwhelming worry. She aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions. Rachael offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging as ways to stay connected between meetings and to fit therapy into a busy life.

Online support
How different approaches are used in online sessions
Rachael often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect relationships and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts without fighting them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed early in relationships and how they influence current connection and trust.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person and the presenting issue. This is a collaborative process with adjustments made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions and keeping momentum on practical tasks and exercises.
