Rachael Bentovim-Gill, NCPS

Rachael Bentovim-Gill is an accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom with more than four years of experience working in private practice. Before moving into private practice she accumulated over 15 years of experience within mental health and education and spent many years in senior roles in the education sector mentoring and coaching teams and advising on mental health. She combines this background in clinical work and leadership to support people facing a wide range of challenges.

Rachael has supported clients dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, borderline personality-related difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD and AuDHD, and she also provides executive and professional coaching. She draws on a flexible mix of therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices and psychodynamic techniques, tailoring interventions to each person’s unique needs. Sessions are shaped around practical goals and skills as well as exploration of underlying patterns to help clients move toward more fulfilling lives.

Rachael holds NCPS, a professional registration indicating her standing as a practising counselling and psychotherapy professional. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where the steps toward change are taken collaboratively. She looks forward to meeting people ready to take that first step and to supporting them on their path to better wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then identify values-driven actions to build a more meaningful life. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviours and emotional responses; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections and emotional responses, offering ways to improve trust, intimacy and relational coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rachael works collaboratively to find what fits each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to tailor a plan that combines evidence-informed techniques and compassionate support.

Online therapy with Rachael can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals and allow people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life and commitments.
