About Rachael
Rachael Bentovim-Gill helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with mood issues such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. Rachael uses practical talking and coaching to help people find clearer direction and calmer days.
Rachael works from a straightforward, personalised style. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs, with a mix of structured tools and space to talk things through.
Background and approach
She aims to create an open, non-judgemental environment so people can say what they really think and feel. Her approach combines cognitive behavioural ideas with acceptance and commitment techniques and attachment-informed thinking. She also draws on dialectical behaviour skills and client-centred methods when helpful.
These tools are selected to suit the problem at hand, whether that is sleep and eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, or career stress. Rachael has four years of professional work as a therapist in independent practice. Before that she spent many years in mental health and education roles, including senior work mentoring and coaching teams.
That background informs her coaching style and practical focus. Sessions are tailored so people can try strategies between meetings and bring back what worked or didn’t. Rachael encourages small steps and clear goals so change feels achievable.
She offers support for parenting concerns and for those dealing with attachment, adoption and foster care issues among other focuses.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it teaches simple steps to act despite difficult feelings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand relationship habits and build more supported ways of relating, which can be important for parenting concerns and intimacy issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as you go.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video suits a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when writing things feels easier. These options give flexibility for different days and different needs while still allowing the therapist to use ACT, attachment ideas and client-centred support effectively.
