Therapeutic Approach
Rachel draws from evidence-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and trauma-informed treatments in her clinical practise. She believes that while challenges are a part of life, no one has to go through it alone.
Utilising a relational approach, Rachel aims to create a safe place for clients to explore their challenges and move towards having a more enriched and fulfilling life. She anchors her practice in the belief that “knowledge is power”, and your confidence to enact change will come with the supportive development of stronger insight, self-compassion and understanding of oneself along with access to evidence-based skills and strategies that Rachel will work collaboratively with you to establish.
In addition to a caring approach, Rachel’s strength is in synthesising and simplifying psychological concepts, so they are easy for clients to understand and relate to, to apply to their lives. Rachel uses a neuroaffirming approach when working with neurodivergent individuals.
