Counselling is the collaborative approach addressing day to day challenges individuals face in their life time. At times, doing it by yourself seems overwhelming and hopeless. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space to talk about these issues and develop the necessary skills to manage your mental and emotional wellbeing as an individual or within a relationship. Rae is willing and able to work with clients to address challenges and help you achieve your goals supporting your overall well-being.

Last year we all experienced an alarm call - a reminder that many of the freedoms and assumptions we had about how our lives work are fragile and changeable. In the midst of the pandemic, our lives also went on. We struggled with decisions, wrestled with our thoughts and emotions, tried to find better connections with our loved ones and with the world. Despite this, you have reached out, even if only to browse through this site and explore whether there is someone who can partner with you in improving your life. It is not enough just to cope with the challenges you have behind you - you need to grow and experience change.

I specialise in anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, trauma, self esteem/self worth, guilt, shame, bullying and women struggling with infertility.

This has helped me to deepen my understanding of what clients need.

We all want to feel better but sometimes that is not enough, we need to be doing better in real terms in the real world. While talking about our problems can provide some relief people need more than that. I work only with approaches that get real results for people. If change is what you need and you are ready for that, then this approach is the first positive step.

The problems I help with include the following: Relationship issues; anxiety, phobias, depression and anger; pain management; smoking cessation and weight management. I am an accredited couples counsellor, and have a graduate qualification in hypnotherapy from a program jointly administered by the Austin Hospital and Melbourne University Department of Psychiatry. I have a Pharmacy degree, which facilitates collaboration with medical practitioners about how best to help clients on anti-depressants and other psychotropic medications.

Feeling better is great, but I love to empower people with skills, strategies, and mechanisms to DO better. Strategic Psychotherapy is about effecting measurable change and progress. Talking about things and debriefing is great and comforting, however progress is what really counts.
