She has experience working with adolescents, adults, and families across various settings, including community mental health, hospital inpatient clinics, tertiary outpatient clinics, universities, and group programs.

In all her work, Rachel adopts a compassionate, warm and collaborative approach. She prioritises building a trusting and mutually respectful relationship to explore the needs and challenges of her clients. She endeavours to empower clients by helping them to recognise their strengths and approach their concerns with self-compassion and curiosity. It is important to Rachel to provide care that feels safe and affirming for people of all genders, sexualities, and neurotypes.

Rachel is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy (PDT), but may incorporate skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) depending on the client’s needs. She has experience working with anxiety, mood disorders, obsessive and compulsive disorder, adjustment disorder, stress management, relationship difficulties, and trauma.

Outside of work, Rachel can be found doing yoga, reading and teaching her dog (Bailey) a new trick.
