Our Counsellor:
Rachel Nelmes BA (Hons) PGcert, MNCS accred
Working from a person-centred basis... you, the client, is the expert in the room.
Rachel has many years experience working with autism charities/private organisations in the Preston, East Lancs and Greater Manchester areas and has gained understanding and knowledge working with a wide variety of clients and presenting issues. She also has nearly 10 years experience of working with autistic clients as well as having her own autism diagnosis.
Working with all genders, all age groups from 12 years upwards (fully DBS checked), from all different cultural, religious backgrounds and abilities.
Rachel is able to connect with clients on all different levels.
Rachel's training has allowed her to branch out into other theories of practice. Gaining a first-class degree in counselling has given her the ability to use a range of methods through your time with her....such as CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), Mindfulness, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), Brief/Time limited therapy, and Solution Focused.
Depending upon the issue and yourself depends upon how many sessions you will want. Some clients will need 6 sessions, some more. Rachel will spend some time with you talking about your expectations regarding how many sessions you want and through discussion you will both agree upon a time scale.
