Rachael Bentovim-Gill is a UK-based accredited therapist with NCPS registration and more than four years working in private practice. Her clinical background builds on over 15 years of roles across mental health and education, and she has spent 25 years in senior-level positions within the education sector mentoring teams, coaching professionals, and advising on mental health matters.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family issues, personality and mood disorders such as borderline personality presentations and bipolar disorder, ADHD and AuDHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, and work-related stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care, attachment challenges, caregiver stress, chronic health conditions, body image and eating concerns, and career transitions.

Rachael integrates evidence-informed methods tailored to each person, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions around individual goals. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients can build skills to move toward a more fulfilling life. Rachael is available for therapy in English and welcomes people seeking collaborative, goal-focused support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Rachael Bentovim-Gill uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people tackle thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of living the life they want. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and builds skills to change behaviour and manage symptoms more effectively.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy, communication, and trust. This approach can be helpful for people working through abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, relationship difficulties, or attachment-related stress. Registered professionals and therapists often combine these methods to match the work to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachael works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and mobility needs, offering flexible and accessible ways to maintain consistent therapeutic work.
