Rachael Bentovim-Gill , NCPS

Rachael Bentovim-Gill is an accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings more than four years of private practice experience to her work. She also holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and draws on a long history in mental health and education to inform her clinical approach.

Before moving into private practice, Rachael spent over 15 years working within mental health and education settings and served in senior roles within the education sector for 25 years, mentoring and coaching teams and advising on mental health matters. This combination of front-line clinical experience and senior-level coaching has shaped her blend of therapeutic and coaching skills.

Rachael has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, borderline personality issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, AuDHD, and those seeking executive and professional coaching. She tailors each program to the individual, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic techniques to create a bespoke plan that reflects each client’s needs.

Her practice emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Rachael aims to work collaboratively with clients to help them move toward a more fulfilling and sustainable life, and she looks forward to meeting prospective clients and beginning that process together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical steps to live in line with those values. Online ACT sessions typically involve identifying personal values, learning skills to accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and practicing small actions that move a person toward meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early attachment patterns to understand how they influence current feelings and behaviors. In an online setting this approach can help clients explore relationship dynamics, repair communication patterns, and build more secure connections with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with new behaviors. Delivered online, CBT often combines discussion, practical exercises, and short between-session tasks to support progress on issues like anxiety, mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rachael will work collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt methods over time to match what is most effective for the person in front of them.

Online therapy provides flexibility and accessibility by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow ongoing support to continue from wherever a client is located within the therapist's accepted region.
