Inspiring Minds provides professional child therapy and adult counselling for Kettering, Corby, and Wellingborough. As an integrative therapist, I offer a safe, confidential space to help you or your child manage life’s challenges, build resilience, and improve your overall wellbeing.

Fully Qualified Counsellor Based in Kettering

Looking for help with challenges for you or your child?

Hi, I’m Rachel, a fully qualified integrative therapist. I believe that therapy should be as unique as you are, which is why I don’t use a “one size fits all” approach. Instead, I draw on a range of different therapeutic tools to find the best way to support you or your child.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and accredited with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) meaning I work to high professional and ethical standards. Whether you are looking for child therapy or adult counselling, my goal is to provide a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space for people across Kettering, Corby, and Wellingborough. I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels right for you.

My Approach

Child/Teen Counselling

Children often express feelings through behaviour rather than words. Using age-appropriate, creative methods, I help younger clients explore their emotions in a safe environment. We focus on building their self-esteem and developing healthy ways to cope with big, overwhelming feelings.

How I Work

You might hear the term “Integrative Therapy” and wonder what it actually means. Simply put, it means I have a “toolbox” of different therapeutic approaches.

Instead of sticking to just one way of working, I blend different styles—like looking at your thoughts and patterns or exploring how your past affects your present—depending on what helps you most. It’s a flexible approach that treats you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. At Inspiring Minds, the therapy fits the person, not the other way around.

Free Consultation

I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and ensure you feel comfortable before we begin our journey together.

The Session

Sessions last 50 minutes and are tailored to you. Whether face-to-face or online, we focus on your goals in a calm, safe, and professional environment.

Outcomes

Therapy helps you gain clarity, develop healthy coping tools, and build the resilience needed to manage life’s challenges and improve your overall emotional wellbeing.

Therapy can help with many things, from managing specific issues like anxiety to simply feeling “stuck.” If you feel overwhelmed, or if your child’s behaviour has changed, a free consultation is a great way to see if talking things through feels helpful.

Our first session is about getting to know each other. I will ask a few questions to understand what’s going on for you or your child, and you can see if you feel comfortable with me. There’s no pressure to share everything right away.

This varies for everyone. Some people find that 6 to 12 sessions provide the clarity and peace of mind they need, while others prefer longer-term support. We will check in regularly to make sure the sessions are still meeting your goals.

Yes. Everything discussed is private and handled with care. As a BACP and NCPS accredited member, I follow strict ethical guidelines. The only exception is if I am seriously concerned about your safety or the safety of someone else.  I would always try to discuss with you first before sharing information, making a referral or signposting you or someone else to further support.

Children often use play or creativity rather than just words to express themselves. I use age-appropriate tools to help them feel safe, build their confidence, and help them understand their emotions in a way that makes sense to them.

Not at all. You are in control of your therapy. While consistency helps, you are free to end our sessions at any time. We can work together for as few or as many sessions as you feel are useful.
