Rachael Bentovim-Gill , NCPS

Rachael Bentovim-Gill is a UK-based therapist who brings a blend of clinical experience and senior-level mental health work to her practice. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification indicating training in counselling and psychotherapy, and has four years of experience working in private practice. Prior to establishing her private practice she spent more than 15 years working within mental health and education, and for 25 years she worked in the education sector at a senior level mentoring and coaching teams and advising on mental health.

Her clinical work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, borderline personality issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD and AuDHD, and executive and professional coaching. She also supports people with difficulties around relationships, grief, self-esteem, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and coping with life changes. Rachael integrates a variety of therapeutic tools to meet each person's needs rather than relying on a single method.

Using approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness practices and psychodynamic techniques, she adapts sessions to the individual goals and circumstances of each client. Rachael aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where practical steps toward a more fulfilling life can be developed. She welcomes new clients and works collaboratively to support steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rachael draws on established therapeutic models to tailor work to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for symptoms like low mood, worry and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve current connections and address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and relationship strains.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachael works collaboratively with clients to assess goals, preferences and responses to different techniques, adjusting the blend of approaches over time to find the best fit for each person.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, allowing therapy to fit into everyday life more conveniently.
