Rachael Bentovim-Gill, NCPS

Rachael Bentovim-Gill helps people facing midlife crossroads and many related concerns. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addictions. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and changes at work. Rachael is based in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English.

Rachael brings four years of experience in private practice alongside a long background in mental health and education. Before private practice she spent more than 15 years working in mental health roles and over 25 years mentoring, coaching and advising teams in education. That wider experience shapes how she tailors sessions to each person.

Her approach blends practical strategies and reflective work. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift patterns of thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and purposeful action. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening guide how she and the client build trust and explore difficult emotions.

Sessions focus on what a person needs right now. She adapts tools and conversation to suit individual goals, whether that means learning emotion regulation skills, planning career steps, or talking through painful memories. Rachael aims to help people find clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day coping.

She describes the first sessions as collaborative and straightforward. People are invited to set priorities and try approaches at a pace that suits them. The ongoing plan is reviewed regularly to make sure therapy stays relevant and useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can help when life feels confusing and someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thinking patterns affect feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to change unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachael will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities and needs shift.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online work can make short check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to keep up with. Specific session formats were not specified in the profile, so confirm available options before booking to see which will best fit your routine and technical setup.
