About Rachael
Rachael Bentovim-Gill helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD and addiction-related concerns. She also supports people with relationship and family tensions, grief, intimacy and self-esteem struggles, as well as workplace and career pressures. Rachael holds the NCPS credential and practises in the United Kingdom.
Rachael draws on a mix of talking approaches to suit each person. She uses cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to focus on values, and client-centred listening to make space for how you feel.
Background and approach
She can also include dialectical strategies and attachment-informed thinking when these fit the situation. Before working in independent practice she spent many years in mental health and education roles. She also spent time in senior roles mentoring teams and advising on mental health, plus coaching at an organisational level.
That background shapes her practical, coaching-minded style. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs. Rachael aims to help people notice what matters, learn clearer ways to cope, and take small steps towards changes they choose.
She focuses on practical tools alongside exploring difficult experiences. Her approach is calm and straightforward. Rachael works to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their concerns and try new ways of handling them.
She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready.

How Rachael works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will pick methods that feel manageable and relevant. This collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused on what the individual wants to change.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and making it simpler to have ongoing support while juggling work, family or health demands. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to shorter check-ins, longer therapeutic sessions or coaching-style meetings depending on what the client needs.
