Dr Rachel Gillibrand
HCPC Registered, Chartered Psychologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist
Registered Provider with all the main private healthcare providers
Welcome to Seaview Therapies!
My name is Rachel Gillibrand and I work from a compassion based model of psychological therapies. I am here to listen and support you in becoming the very best version of you. Life throws all sorts of challenges our way and together we can gently face up to and work through them, whatever the challenge might be.
I work online and face to face at The Old Rectory Clinic in Iron Acton on Mondays and Weston-super-Mare on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday mornings.
I can take both privately funded and insured* clients, see here for my prices.
I am currently very busy with clients, and as part of the Orchard Therapy Partnership, I work with highly qualified therapists able to see new clients at the moment, including on Saturdays. If I am unable to offer you an appointment, then one of my colleagues may be able to help you. Click here to contact us.
How can I help you?
Individual Therapy
In our therapy sessions, we’ll work to solve current problems and improve positive thinking and behaviour. We will learn how to “re-frame” your reactions and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles. I’m confident you’ll find my personalised approach beneficial and inspirational.
Working with Children
Is your child having difficulties at school? Are night times a challenge? I can help you and your child find confidence and happiness, restoring family life to the best it can be.
Using story-telling and play, together we will help your child understand themselves better and help them find their true self.
Enhanced DBS Certified
Couples Therapy
If you’re looking for quality Couples Therapy sessions with a focus on moving forward with confidence and happiness, then you’ve come to the right place. I will support you every step of the way to help you develop new ways of thinking and new ways of working towards all of life’s most complex matters.
Long-term illness
Health psychology is a specialist area of psychology that works with you to find the best way to cope with your long term condition. We will work together to manage your flare-ups, cope with your pain, help to communicate your needs and reduce the anxiety and low mood you may experience from time to time.
Health anxiety
Health anxiety can be a very debilitating condition and one that few people truly understand. We will explore the triggers and causes, and use therapies including hypnosis to tackle health anxiety in a steady and gentle way. We work at your pace, always.
PTSD and Trauma
Working with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other severe trauma requires specialist training. I have completed the International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy certificate and am qualified to deliver this extremely effective technique face-to-face or online.
