My name is Dr Jess Rayner, I’m the founder of Down to Earth Psychology and a registered Clinical Psychologist offering assessment and therapy in Cheltenham and online.​

 

I have specialist experience supporting people navigating anxiety, trauma, stress and burnout, grief, depression and low self-esteem. I’m passionate about working with people who identify as neurodivergent (e.g., autistic and ADHD) and those living with long-term health conditions.

 

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns of thoughts and feelings that are impacting their lives, relationships, and work. Therapy offers a space to make sense of what’s happening, feel more ease and rest in your inner world and reconnect with what matters to you.

​

Drawing on a range of evidence-based therapies, our work is tailored to your needs and goals. I typically integrate mind–body approaches that bring greater awareness of the connection between thoughts, emotions and the body, supporting the whole nervous system to find more safety and calm.

 

My approach to therapy emphasises authenticity, non-judgement and genuine care. I understand it can be daunting coming to appointments, so I prioritise creating a warm and relaxed space. We are living in complex and often challenging times. In addition to individual difficulties, many people are also carrying the broader weight of the world around them. I offer a space where we can explore both individual experiences and, if you are feeling it, the ways the wider world is affecting you.​

 

​I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide whether therapy might be helpful and if I’m the right therapist for you. You’re welcome to get in touch to book in here.
