My name is Rachel Anyika and I am a qualified integrative relational therapist based in London, England. My training has been in psychodynamic individual & couples counselling and humanistic integrative therapy, on BACP accredited courses. I have over 5 years of experience counselling a diverse range of clients in the NHS and private practice. My previous career was working in law and financial services for over 15 years. 
 
I became interested in psychology after a journey of self-discovery which started over 10 years ago. During my adolescence and throughout my 20's, I was insecure, anxious, overthinking and detached from my emotions. Though these issues were shaping my life and relationships, I was not consciously aware of them. That is until a series of challenging events and people entered my life over a short period of time. I had limited emotional resources to deal with those challenges and reached a rock bottom point in my life. Whilst I did not know what it was at the time I was also suffering with severe relationship OCD. With things having got so bad I was forced to stop looking to outside factors for blame and validation, I instead looked inside for the answers. I realised I had no idea who I really was, how to love myself or how to have fulfilling relationships. I needed to rebuild myself with strong foundations so I started my own therapy and self development journey, which changed my life. I was able to understand where my behavioural patterns came from and have compassion for my childhood. I learned how to love myself and how to fully love others. How to process difficult emotions, stop rumination and understand what I was feeling. Which helped me change my limiting core beliefs and allowed me to be more present in my relationships. 
 
During my journey I found the knowledge of others who had researched, experienced and learned from similar issues to be instrumental in changing my life for the better.  I wanted to help pass that knowledge on and Emotion Enhancement was created as part of this.
