Rachel Grant

I offer a safe, warm, non-judgemental and empathetic space, allowing you to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions in a confidential environment. You will have the opportunity to express concerns and problems and achieve better clarity of thought. Through gaining a better self-understanding you have the opportunity to become more accepting and kinder to yourself. This allows life to flow more easily and become more fulfilling.

The areas I work with include anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-worth, bereavement, living with chronic illness and relationship issues.

I am a counsellor at The Olive Tree Cancer Support Centre in Crawley, Surrey, where I work with people diagnosed with cancer, before during and after treatment, and family members affected or bereaved by cancer.

I am also a health coach specialising in treating and managing chronic illness. I have been exploring healing the mind and body for more than 25 years and draw on experience of a huge number of alternative and complementary therapies including medical herbalism, homoeopathy, reiki, emotional freedom technique, nutrition, mindfulness, sound healing, voice work, hypnotherapy, reflexology, and energy healing. The strategies, remedies and protocols suggested are all tried and tested, and their efficacy supported by experience and anecdotal evidence. I also guide clients to reading material to support the protocols suggested if this is helpful. I can incorporate health coaching into a counselling session if desired. It can be beneficial to look at diet and lifestyle and see how it may be impacting on health and wellbeing. Simple changes in these areas can improve symptoms and help treat chronic illness, both mental and physical.

In order to offer the most up to date and effective therapy available, I am constantly working on my self-improvement through continuing personal development.
