About Rachel Gold
I am a fully qualified relationship counsellor and psychosexual therapist, with over 30 years experience of working with both individuals and couples. I hold a Diploma in Counselling and Psychosexual therapy.
Your sessions are tailored to go at your pace and requirements. I will lead you step by step through the therapy process, without judgement and with compassion and patience.
Right from the start of your first session, I will ask you both what you are hoping to achieve through having therapy. Whether you would like help to make your relationship work better or to separate more amicably. Or perhaps you are just looking for clarity over the future of your relationship. Rest assured, that I will see you both as individuals, as well as part of a couple. There will be plenty of opportunity to talk about what you would like to improve in the relationship, as well as what is not working for you as an individual.
My role is to help you both to listen and really hear each other’s perspective. Which in turn should enable greater understanding and new ways to appreciate one another.
I will help you identify any unhelpful patterns of behaviour which may have developed between you over time. Then together we will find solutions to these challenges, so there is or greater harmony in your relationship going forward, if that is what you are looking for.
I have extensive experience supporting couples through all manner of relationship problems, so have many tried and tested therapeutic tools to help you I am confident that no matter how hurtful the situation between you may be feeling today, that I can help to bring you back to that loving feeling once again.

Background/Experience
Prior to qualifying as a counsellor, I worked as a doula and maternity therapist in the team of the Founder of the Gentle Birth Method. This is where people were preparing for conception, childbirth or postnatal, which inspired me to train as a couples counsellor and later as a Psychosexual Therapist. This was so I could better support them transitioning into parenthood and beyond.
Thirty years later, I have seen tens of hundreds of couples and individuals learn how to navigate the challenges that arise during this long journey together as parents.
I further trained in women’s health modalities and as a yoga teacher. Enabling me to offer my clients therapeutic techniques to successfully navigate the physical, mental and emotional challenges of the perimenopause, menopause and menopause. I understand why relationships need help to adapt to encompass these significant life transitions.
