About Rachael
Rachael Bentovim-Gill is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, addictions, parenting challenges and career stress. Rachael uses practical tools so conversations lead to clearer next steps rather than staying stuck in worry.
She draws on four years working directly as a therapist in independent practice. Before that she spent many years in mental health and education roles and held senior positions mentoring teams and advising on mental health for 25 years.
Background and approach
That background informs her practical focus and understanding of workplace and family pressures. Sessions are tailored to each person. Rachael blends approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and hypnotherapy where it fits the client's needs.
She aims to match methods to what a person finds useful, not to force a single way of working. In a session she listens, helps name what matters, and suggests simple exercises to try between meetings. Conversations are paced to match what a person can manage, whether that means shorter check-ins or deeper work on a particular issue.
She is registered with NCPS. Rachael works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers appointments using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Rachael commonly draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, and she also uses hypnotherapy as part of sessions when it fits a person’s goals. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and values, then act in ways that matter to them despite difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of coping through practical exercises. Hypnotherapy can support relaxation and accessing focused attention to help with habits, anxiety and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so methods can be adjusted as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility to fit appointments around work, family and travel commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
