About Rachael
Rachael Bentovim-Gill is an NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years working in private practice and many more years in mental health and education roles. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar and depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleep issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career stresses. She also works with those coping with life changes and professional coaching needs.
Before private practice she spent over 15 years in mental health and education, and more than 25 years mentoring, coaching and advising teams in the education sector. That background informs a practical style that blends clinical thinking with workplace and life experience.
Her approach draws on a mix of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred practice. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused, helping people notice patterns, try small changes and build skills for everyday situations.
Rachael says she adapts her methods to what each person needs, combining mindfulness, some psychodynamic ideas and coaching techniques when helpful. She aims to help people manage intense feelings, reduce reactive responses and improve relationships and daily functioning.
She works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It can help reduce the time spent stuck in reactive patterns and support goals such as handling anger more intentionally.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour. In practice it teaches simple strategies to spot unhelpful thinking, test assumptions and try alternative responses when anger arises.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These are useful for managing intense feelings and decreasing impulsive reactions in difficult moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences with the client and try methods that fit those priorities. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel most helpful and realistic for everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. Registered professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and skills practice to be used over video or phone depending on the agreed format.
