Hi, I am Rachael, owner and founder of Reid And Restore Counselling. I am a qualified member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offer a safe, supportive, confidential, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly.

I am naturally empathetic, caring, and understanding, and I genuinely care about supporting people as they navigate life’s challenges. I began this journey a few years ago, driven by a deep desire to help others make sense of difficult experiences and move toward positive change.

Through my counselling practice, I have seen first-hand how powerful it can be when someone feels truly heard, understood, and supported. This has shaped my passion for creating a calm and accepting environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves.

My approach is tailored to each individual, as I believe counselling is not a one-size-fits-all process. I work alongside clients to explore their concerns at a pace that feels right for them, ensuring they remain in control of their journey.

I graduated from UHI Moray with a Certificate in Person-Centred Counselling, and through additional training and courses, I am able to work in an integrative way, drawing on different approaches to best support each client’s needs.

Alongside my professional work, I enjoy spending time with family, going on walks, experiencing new things, and learning about different cultural interests that support my appreciation for individuality and diverse life experiences.

I offer one-to-one counselling both in person and online, providing flexible support to suit your needs.
