Hello, I’m Rachel, an Arts therapist who blends curiosity and creativity into every aspect of my work. With over a decade of experience, I’ve guided individuals and couples through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and self-discovery. My approach is anything but conventional—counselling with an artistic twist, creative couples therapy, and hypnotherapy with an arts component.
My journey in therapy has been shaped by diverse experiences, including 2.5 years working in Cambodia, which has deepened my compassion and broadened my understanding. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Maryland, with advanced studies Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice. My qualifications also include a Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis & Strategic Psychotherapy and a Certificate of Attainment in Individual & Group Supervision.
What sets my practice apart is the fusion of creativity with proven therapeutic methods, all within a calm, nurturing environment. I tailor each session to your unique needs, offering a safe space where you’re not just heard, but truly understood. Whether you’re facing personal challenges or seeking deeper connection, I’m here to support and guide you.
Join me in a space where we can explore, heal, and grow together. Your journey toward a more fulfilling life, rich with compassion, creativity, and insight, begins here.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
