Therapy that meets you where you are.

Holding everything together on the outside can feel exhausting when, inside, things feel overwhelming. You might be struggling with difficult relationships, memories from the past, or a sense of not really knowing who you are. Perhaps anger, shame, or anxiety feel close to the surface, or you’re caught in patterns that you can’t seem to shift. Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to manage it all alone.

I am a qualified person-centred therapist and registered member of the BACP. I work with adults in Clapham (SW4) and online, offering a supportive, confidential space to talk openly and at your own pace.

My approach is grounded in the belief that real change happens when you feel heard, accepted, and understood. Together, we can explore what’s going on for you, make sense of past experiences, and find new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I’ve worked in varied settings, including an addiction recovery agency, a women’s health centre, and a secondary school which has given me rich and varied experience working with a wide range of issues.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in theatre, and I bring a deep appreciation for creativity, stories, and the many different ways people find meaning in their lives.

Rachel Kraftman (MBACP)

Hello, I'm Rachel, I work online and face-to-face, offering compassionate, person-centred support for clients working through emotional pain, shame, and the impact of past harm. You may be carrying hurt from past experiences you don’t fully understand. You might have been through deeply difficult, sometimes traumatic, situations and feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or disconnected. Safe relationships may not have been something you had, and you might believe you’re either too much or not enough. You may overfunction, take care of others, or shut down, unsure how to just be.

Therapy offers a space to come into relationship, not just with a therapist, but with yourself. Over time, you may begin to notice your emotions more clearly, understand your own reactions with compassion, and feel less alone. There can be a sense of release, voice, and quiet strength returning.
