Rachael is a warm and compassionate Provisional Psychologist who is passionate about helping children, adolescents and adults feel understood, supported and empowered to thrive. Currently completing her Master of Clinical Psychology, she brings almost four years of experience providing therapeutic support to people navigating anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, behavioural concerns and family-related stress.
Taking a client-centred approach, Rachael tailors therapy to each person’s unique needs and strengths, drawing on evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Play Therapy where appropriate. She believes that meaningful progress often comes from embracing the “messy” moments and creating a safe, engaging environment where clients can explore challenges, build confidence and develop practical strategies for everyday life.
Rachael values working collaboratively with children, adults and caregivers alike, recognising that the best outcomes are achieved when people feel genuinely heard and supported. She has a particular interest in anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioural difficulties and family dynamics, and is committed to continually expanding her knowledge and skills through ongoing professional development as she completes her Master of Clinical Psychology.
Outside of the clinic, Rachael enjoys spending time with her family, getting outdoors, reading and taking long walks with her energetic Spoodle, Ralph. She also loves unwinding with a good coffee by the water.
