Hey! I'm Rachel
Life is challenging but you don't deserve or need to suffer. Think of therapy as the most important class you never had in school. Therapy can help you feel resourced with the tools to navigate life's obstacles with more ease and confidence. You deserve to feel like your mind and body is on your side.
Therapy for adults who are ready to quieten their inner critic, become skilled at processing their feelings, explore the deeper roots of their anxiety, depression, relational struggles, and how they move through life.
Whether you're unpacking childhood experiences, healing from CPTSD, or exploring your identity across cultures, I offer a space where you can be genuinely seen and understood.
How I Can Help
Over the last decade as a therapist, I've worked with people from various walks of life. They often came to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, lost and burnt out.
As I listen to their stories, a thread emerged: the family roles they'd stepped into growing up, roles that once helped them belong, feel safe or useful was now creating stressful and unfufilling relationships. You may have been given several roles at once, shifting between them depending on what the moment demanded. You've been in character for so long, you don't even know who you are without the masks and scripts.
That pattern doesn't just disappear when you become an adult. It shows up in your relationships, your work, your inability to rest, and your struggle to be real with yourself and others.
Many of the people I work with identify as: people-pleasers, the one everyone else relies on, perfectionists, codependants, and young carers growing up

What Clients Are Saying
I felt remarkably calmer because the space in my head was slowly being unpacked in an intentional manner. The self awareness I gained, and the allowance of my emotions made me feel so much more grounded in a way I never have been before.
Being held in a space that allows you to access the portal to your healing, no matter how far or deep it goes. To have someone like Rachel by your side as it’s happening for you is paramount.
I often refer back to the realisations and tools Rachel’s given me since our time together, and she would be the one I would go back to when it’s time for my next period of therapy without a shadow of a doubt.
