Rafael Dupré

Counsellor — BSc, MBCAP, PGCE

Rafael Dupré is originally from Belgium and has lived in the United Kingdom since 2011. He currently divides his professional practice between private clinics in London and France. With over 20 years of experience in the broader mental health field, he has developed a comprehensive and nuanced approach to supporting diverse populations.

In the early stages of his career, he specialised in working with young people, both individually and within family systems, addressing issues such as social exclusion, relationship difficulties, attachment challenges, and the impacts of addiction or abuse. During this period, he developed a strong interest in solution-focused therapy, including the Bruges Model, as an effective means of facilitating change—supporting clients not only in gaining insight but also in acquiring practical tools to implement lasting change.

Currently, his practice is equally divided between working with individuals—both adults and young people—and couples from a wide range of backgrounds, offering tailored therapy for diverse emotional and psychological concerns. He works extensively with adolescents aged 15 and above, as well as young adults.

In addition, he provides support to clients diagnosed with cancer, recognising the profound emotional challenges associated with such a diagnosis. He offers compassionate support to individuals and their loved ones as they navigate these difficult circumstances. End-of-life counselling may also form part of this work, addressing the emotional and existential concerns that can arise. Trauma release and therapeutic dialogue are used to help create a more supportive environment for healing, contributing to overall well-being and recovery.

What Clients Say

★★★★★

“From the first moment I spoke to Rafael, I could tell he just 'got it' - he understood exactly what I was feeling, and what I needed - someone who would challenge my ways of thinking, guide me, direct me, and help me change very deeply held damaging behaviours and beliefs stretching back to childhood and subsequent trauma. Over the last year, he has absolutely given me the tools to achieve that, in the kindest, most compassionate way imaginable. I still have improvements to make (and perhaps always will) and am looking forward to continuing to work with him for as long as I need to support me with that.”

JL, 43y Police Officer
★★★★★

“I trust Rafael implicitly; he is professional and yet human; compassionate while able to get to the heart of difficult issues; and adapts his level of communication so that he extremely effectively helps you understand both yourself and his suggested therapeutic approach. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any issue.”

RM, 40y Musician
★★★★★

“Working with Rafael has genuinely changed my life. He's supported me through some of the hardest, darkest, and most chaotic moments I've ever faced. His patience, kindness, and professionalism have been constant even when I wasn't at my best. He's given me structure, motivation, guidance, and unwavering support when I needed it most.”

LD, 29y Business Owner
★★★★★

“I honestly don't think I'd be the person I am today and maybe I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Rafael and the work we've done together. Because of him, I've learned how to be accountable, authentic, and to finally believe in myself.”

★★★★★

“Today, I'm sober, grounded, confident, and genuinely excited to wake up every morning and live my life. That's something I never thought I'd say. Rafael's helped me reconnect with who I really am to care for myself, to love myself, and to build a future I'm proud of. He doesn't just do his job – he cares. You can feel it in every session, every conversation, and every bit of time he gives. The impact he's had on me goes far beyond therapy – it's been life-changing. I'm deeply grateful to have him in my corner.”

DJ, 33y Personal Trainer
★★★★★

“Forever grateful to Rafael! When psychotherapy was first recommended to me, I was sceptical. Even as a mental health professional, a large part of me resisted being vulnerable in therapy and exposing myself, after a series of traumatic life events. I didn't want to accept I needed help and even more challenging to put my trust so deeply in another person. It felt like a huge step. On meeting Rafael for the first time, I was struck by how intuitively he felt my predicament and I learned to soften as he put my mind at ease. Rafael showed me he could empathise with compassion whilst teaching me tools to approach my thoughts and feelings wisely. He seemed to know what I needed, the courage to build a strong foundation whilst maintaining a soft centre. He has relentless patience, trust and conviction in his approach, which gave me the confidence I needed.”
