I suffer with OCD type thinking, generalised anxiety and anxious attachment as an LGBT male. Rachel has such an ability to decipher and decode so quickly from listening to your concerns what parts are at play and how to directly coach you towards ways of thinking which work specifically on the issues of concern. I’ve entered sessions in a state of urgency and left with such a more regulated perspective which is invaluable when emotions and anxiety can feel really hard.

Rachel is super warm, friendly and has helped me navigate to a place where I feel the most peace I have ever felt in my life despite moving to London, grieving loss of a family member, starting a new job and being in my first relationship.

I cannot thank Rachel enough for helping me rewire my thinking and change my life, I’m now living a life and doing things I never thought was possible.

Peace is priceless and I’d recommend anyone to take a session with her. I can genuinely say I’m proud of myself and I have Rachel to thank for a significant part of this

Rachel was the calm amongst the storm for me during a turbulent time. She helped me gain self acceptance, self compassion and a whole new perspective on my struggles. She helped me navigate relationship difficulties, health issues and life worries with a calm presence, deep intuition and breadth of knowledge. I hope everyone gets a therapist like Rachel in their life, as she feels like a big hug. Thank you for everything, Rachel!

It’s amazing to have Miss Rachel Blythe as my therapist, it makes me feel so comfortable speaking everything I’m struggling with. Her calmness and understanding are all I was looking for in my therapist. Always on time, and I feel better after every session. Thank you so much.

Such an intelligent, inquisitive and caring therapist.

Rachel’s style is perfect for me.
