Hello! I'm Rachel Cowey
I'm an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor, EMDR therapist, and clinical supervisor based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
I specialise in eating distress, eating disorders, and body image for young people and adults. I also work with young people experiencing anxiety, self-harm, low self-esteem, and the impact of trauma.
BACP Accredited
Since 2021
How I Can Help
I offer a range of therapeutic services tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Welcome to RC Therapy Services
I'm a practitioner who likes to be led by you on what you want to focus on in sessions and work alongside you to reach your goals.
I've been a qualified counsellor since 2015 and BACP accredited since 2021. I've worked in different areas of counselling, including bereavement and anticipatory grief; children and young people, domestic abuse, and eating distress.
For the last 6 years I've been working in eating distress and have immersed myself into this area of expertise. I believe recovery is fully possible no matter what stage you are at and how long you've struggled with disordered eating.
I help to find out the root of the cause, not just work on the symptoms, and help you work towards freedom from things like food noise, body checking, overexercise, and low self-esteem.
I gained my Master Practitioner Award from the National Centre for Eating Disorders in 2022. I trained as an EMDR practitioner in 2023 and am working towards accreditation.

My Commitment
I commit to offering anti-oppressive, anti-racist and affirmative therapy. I work with people of all genders, sexualities, cultures, and backgrounds. My practice recognises that our gender, sexuality, culture, faith, class, and background have a profound impact on us and the ways we navigate the world.
I work from a trauma informed and neuroaffirmative perspective. I'm neurodivergent myself and will adapt my way of working to best suit you.
