Rachael Matharoo

My name is Rachael and I am a fully qualified, BABCP accredited, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor.

I offer CBT and EMDR for various anxiety disorders and depression. I help people suffering from PTSD/Trauma, Social Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Agoraphobia, Specific Phobias, Generalised Anxiety, OCD, Panic Disorder, Low Self-Esteem, Perfectionism and Depression.

CBT is a very empowering therapy which can enable you to become ‘unstuck’ from your current ways of thinking and unhelpful behaviours. We will work together to aid your understanding of your specific issues and help to break the vicious cycles that often leave people feeling trapped. We will look at what coping strategies and new ways of thinking will enable you to live a more fulfilled and meaningful life.

I pride myself on my straight talking, direct yet warm and compassionate approach and provide a safe and confidential space to explore whatever difficulties you feel are holding you back.

I provide evidence-based treatments, in line with NICE guidelines. I adhere to the strict code of ethics by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and have regular clinical supervision and training (CPD), as part of my commitment to clients.

I believe that everyone should be treated as an individual and take a ‘whole-person’ approach when treating any of my clients. This means recognising clients are not defined by their struggles and providing them with the compassion and support to feel better. We can look together at what triggered these difficulties, including any past events, and work to better understand how these difficulties are maintained. We can then look at what strategies will be best placed to implement to aid recovery.
