About me
I currently have availability for new clients. I work with clients worldwide, offering flexible session times across mornings and evenings.
Hello! My name is Rines, and I am a qualified integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Counselling from the University of East London and I am also a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work with clients from all walks of life, including those from diverse backgrounds - LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, disabled, and individuals with long-term health conditions. I adhere closely to the BACP Ethical Framework, ensuring that each client receives the care and respect they deserve.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore and work through any challenges you may be facing in relation to your mental health. My approach is integrative, using techniques from a blend of therapy styles tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. These techniques include elements from Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, and Existential approaches.
I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress, relationship issues, identity, motivation, and confidence. My work is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with a focus on creating a therapeutic relationship that fosters growth and healing. Through our work together, clients often build resilience, improve relationships, gaining clarity and confidence to navigate life’s challenges.
Thank you for visiting my profile. I would be honoured to work with you. Feel free to reach out to begin your therapy journey today.
