I have completed the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS) training which is focused on a model of care specifically designed for betrayed partners.
Hi, my name is Rachel and I support women experiencing the devastation that is partner betrayal. Perhaps your partner has been cheating or keeping secret sexual behaviours from you? This can include things such as porn addiction, repeated emotional and/or sexual infidelities. This type of personal betrayal is heart-breaking and life shattering. Following discovery of betrayals, you may experience some of the following: overwhelming emotions, intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, preoccupation, difficulty functioning day to day, changes to your sense of self, sleep issues, physical symptoms, isolation and many more.

When struggling with the symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief & trauma & other issues, it is hard to gain perspective to understand your experience, your emotions, your problems and to see a way forward.
I can help bring insight and clarity while providing a roadmap through these often complex situations and emotions such as anxiety and trauma. Having a companion to validate and empathize with your experience is empowering. I can provide understanding, support insight, tools, resources, and counselling to help you live a life with more vitality and hope.
