Hi, I’m Rachael. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Many people reach out when life stops feeling manageable, or when something makes them pause and realise they’ve been coping rather than living.
“Normal” looks different for everyone. My role is to help you understand what feels normal for you, and what you might want to change. We’ll work together at your pace, exploring what’s going on and making sense of the thoughts and feelings you’re carrying.
I have several years of experience and have worked within two mental health charities, supporting adults with a wide range of difficulties including PTSD, trauma, rape and sexual violence, suicidal thoughts, self‑harm, abuse, bereavement, anxiety, depression, and low self‑esteem.
I don’t offer advice or tell you what to do. Instead, I work in a person‑centred way, helping you connect with your own insight and strengths. You know yourself best, and therapy is a space where you can explore safely, honestly, and without pressure.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
