My Approach to Therapy Online

I work with a combination of Psychosynthesis Counselling and EFT/Matrix Reprinting. These techniques are the most effective I have found for us to make sense of ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.

We can work towards,

Understanding of Heavy Emotional States:
I specialize in supporting individuals who are experiencing deep emotional challenges, including depression and anxiety. My approach is rooted in empathy and a genuine understanding of how these struggles impact every part of life, from relationships to self-esteem and daily motivation.  The techniques I use with my clients I use both personally and professionally.  

Tools for Moving Forward:
Together, we’ll work to equip you with practical tools to manage and reduce the weight of these emotions. I focus on strategies that empower you, from mindfulness techniques and coping skills to cognitive-behavioural methods that help reframe thoughts, understand your need to procrastinate and improve resilience.

A Path to Rediscover Your Life:
My goal is to guide you through a journey of self-discovery and healing, helping you not only to manage your current emotional state but to build a foundation for ongoing well-being. You will learn what it means to have compassion and understanding for yourself even in those moments you don’t really love or accept yourself. You’ll leave with strategies that can make everyday challenges feel more manageable and your goals feel more achievable.

To work through the heavy energy of depression and anxiety I use a very effective tool called EFT or ‘tapping‘.

I started working with Cynthia following a divorce which had left me feeling very deeply hurt and struggling to heal the wounds that this created and the old wounds it had re-opened from my past. Cynthia’s approach was eclectic – picking the best methods to deal with each issue as we discovered it and needed healing – all encompassed in the structure of psychosynthesis. Essentially I think of Cynthia as a wise woman, who with knowledge, experience and instinct helped me discover the root of the hurt, however far back in my past, and most importantly then find ways for it to truly heal. I have cleared the pain from my divorce plus phobias and fears held for over 30 years feeing me up to be a happy, healthy and hopefully wiser woman too. I would recommend Cynthia to anyone who needs help to move forward in life, whatever the cause of the pain, she can help you find a way through the fog to a sunny day again. S.R.

My sessions with Cynthia have been of great help to me. She is a very accepting and understanding counsellor and has helped me work through and understand a number of issues. EFT in particular has been very effective (despite my initial scepticism) in helping lessen the emotional heaviness of an problem – somehow it seems to lighten the charge the experience has and this has helped me move through whatever was causing the problem or upset. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new approach to working through emotional blocks, fears etc. I have found it very helpful and effective. T.S.

I received some sessions of EFT from Cynthia Rao as I was feeling very anxious. Cynthia was very professional and intuitive. She knew her stuff and guided me through the elements of EFT. I had previously suffered from headaches on a daily basis in which I need to take tablets for, after a session of EFT with Cynthia I found that my headaches had subsided and I have not taken any tablets since. With EFT I have found a way I can work with my feelings of anxiety and feel much more optimistic about the future. I want to thank Cynthia very much and I will certainly seek her counselling services again. M.P.

It did take me a long time to find someone who I felt I could trust but when I did it made the world of difference. It gave me a sense of what I had missed with my own parents who were not able to give me the emotional support I needed. I discovered what boundaries meant and that I had them and so did others!! Counselling for me has been life changing! B.D.
