      <image:title>Therapist - Rachel Watts</image:title>
      <image:caption>Pronouns: she/her I have been working one to one with clients since beginning my training at Leeds Beckett University in 2014, qualifying in 2016. I then worked in the voluntary sector for many years, before opening Equinox in the spring of 2022. I recently returned to Leeds Beckett to complete my Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling, with my research focusing on trans-affirming care. I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and as such adhere to their ethical standards, which can be found here, BACP Ethical Framework. I work with a variety of issues and aims including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, identity, neurodiversity, gender identity, and loss.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Current Working Hours Tuesday 10am - 7pm Wednesday 10am - 7pm Friday 10am - 4.30pm Fees Payments are accepted in cash, by card, or bank transfer, and this can be discussed and arranged before therapy begins. I usually ask these to be paid at the end of each session. I do have cancellation policies/fees in some cases, which will be made clear to you before we begin. I will obviously not charge for sessions that I am unavailable. I can offer reduced fees if necessary on a sliding scale, so please contact me if you need to discuss this and cannot afford my usual rate. In certain circumstances I may also be able to hold sessions at times not listed above, as long as I can accommodate this at the time of the query, and this won’t cause any foreseeable problems going forward. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me to discuss any of these points further if they will help you access the service better. Ethics I am a registered member of the BACP, and their ethical guidelines, which I follow can be found here. I will be following GDPR legal principles in regards to your information. I will not be wearing a face mask as I feel it inhibits communication and expression, both of which are vital to the sessions. However you need to feel safe and secure, and if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask or visor we can discuss this, as well as the need for online sessions due to health concerns, convenience, or other circumstances. I am happy to discuss anything further with prospective clients either through a brief enquiry on my contact page, or during an initial meeting session, depending on the information required. If we run out of time and its necessary I may be able to accommodate a second initial meeting.</image:caption>
