Rachael Bentovim-Gill, NCPS

Rachael Bentovim-Gill helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, and difficulties with attention and addiction. She also supports issues around relationships, intimacy, parenting, grief, eating and sleeping, and work and career concerns. Rachael is named at the start so readers know who they would meet in sessions.

Rachael has four years of practice as a therapist in independent work in the United Kingdom. Before independent practice she spent many years in mental health, education and senior roles where she mentored teams and advised on mental health. That background informs how she approaches practical problems people bring to therapy.

Her sessions draw on a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. She uses cognitive behavioural strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and some psychodynamic ideas. Rachael adapts her methods to the issue and to what the person says works for them.

The aim in sessions is straightforward: create an open, non-judgemental space to talk about thoughts and feelings. Rachael helps people set goals and try small, realistic steps that can improve day to day life. She frames work as collaborative and practical.

Rachael holds NCPS as a credential and works from the United Kingdom. She invites people to begin the process when they feel ready and offers supportive, goal-focused counselling to help them move towards a more fulfilling life.

How Rachael’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes by focusing on small committed steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It can help with trust, intimacy-related issues and attachment difficulties by naming recurring relationship dynamics and trying new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will talk with the person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a joint process and plans are adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session arrangements should be checked before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also allow people to focus on skills such as mindfulness or CBT exercises from wherever they are, making it simpler to practise changes between sessions. Confirm the available session formats with the provider when you book.
