Work, relationships, responsibilities, all accounted for.
Sessions draw on conversation, creativity, and exploring different parts of yourself, at a pace that's yours. I also work with people navigating life between two cultures. If you're carrying something that doesn't quite translate, I understand that weight. For Thai-speaking clients, we can work in Thai and English freely, whichever feels true.

My practice supports people navigating trauma, relationship patterns, and disconnection—from themselves, others and what gives them meaning in life; their values.
I use a range of evidence-based and expressive approaches including EMDR, attachment theory, creative arts therapies, reflective writing, and yogic practices. My work is also grounded in compassion, and playful experimentation, designed to support clients to reimagine how they live, relate, and make meaning.

Preston, VIC 3072
Raquel is a registered counsellor working with individuals and couples, with a focus on helping people get to know the different parts of themselves.
These could be the part that tries to keep everyone happy, the one that's completely exhausted by that, the one still carrying something painful from the past. Getting curious about these parts and understanding what they're actually trying to do - like controlling how others see you or avoiding conflict - is where things start to make a lot more sense.
