About Me

My name is Rachel Hudson and I am an Integrative Counsellor, EMDR Trauma specialist and Eating Disorder specialist based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

​

What is integrative? This means that I can adapt the way I work with clients. As human beings, we can be pretty complex creatures and I don't see therapy as a one size fits all solution, my skills allow me to adapt the way I work to fit my client’s needs.

​

I embarked on my counselling training due to a life event that impacted myself and my family, the positive impact counselling had for all of us lit a fire in me and sparked a desire to help others.

​

Since qualifying in 2014 I have gained experience in working with a range of issues from but not limited to anxiety, depression, sexual abuse and sexual violence, abuse, domestic violence, eating disorders, addiction and relationship issues just to mention a few.

​

The services I am or have been involved with are Rotherham Abuse Counselling Service, Doncaster Drug and Alcohol services, M25 Homeless Shelter as well as my Private Practice.

​

I am an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and practice in accordance with their Code of Ethics (www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework). The BACP's register of counsellors and psychotherapists is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. I am also a member of EMDR UK, The National Centre for Eating Disorders. 

​

I hold an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Certificate, and full Professional Indemnity Insurance cover.
