Rachel Townsend

Rachel is a fully qualified, BACP registered counsellor and holistic therapist based in Cornwall in the UK. She specialises in trauma and recovery and also works with couples experiencing relationship problems.

Rachel was born on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall in the late 60's. At the time, her father was employed by a large international telecommunications company and wherever his work took him in the world, his family was never far behind.

Rachel's early life experiences, therefore, were very much influenced by the vast cultural differences of her immediate surroundings. By the age of seventeen, she had lived in the West Indies, the Middle East and the United Kingdom.

Her life took several unexpected twists and turns, with many incredible adventures but also, untold tragedy and terrible loss. On more than one occasion, she had to fight hard to get her life back on track.

Rachel only began to write about her experiences in her early fifties. Writing provided Rachel with a welcome platform for what would ultimately become her very first book, Finding Frank
