Hi, my name is Rachel, and I am a Registered Social Worker. My path towards counselling began in 2021 after further study in Psychology, when I began counselling teens at risk of homelessness, followed by child and family counselling. I opened my own practice. 'Calm & Co.' in October 2023, where I support children, teens, families and couples in a safe, confidential, empathetic, non-judgmental and calm space. I am a firm believer that people are the experts in their own lives, and I work in a collaborative way to develop strategies that will meet every individual’s unique support needs, whether that takes a structured approach using counselling models and interventions, or providing an understanding ear for people to vent without being judged.

Tēnā koe. I am a registered professional counsellor (NZAC) with a Bachelor of Applied Counselling, based in Thames, New Zealand. I offer in-person and online counselling for adults and young people, using proven therapeutic methods for meaningful, lasting change. My humanistic, person-centred, and pluralistic approach fosters self-awareness, acceptance, and personal growth, tailored to each client’s unique needs. Guided by Carl Rogers's core conditions and existential theory, I support individuals in finding meaning and achieving their goals through insight and self-responsibility.

I offer therapy sessions with a holistic approach (modelled on Dr Mason Durie Te Whare Tapa Wha Model), I call it 'courageous conversations',. I am not here to fix the problem but to support my clients to work through barriers that sometime prevent the steps towards being/feeling better, which is often about looking inwards , which is often about looking inward to come back out. Often its about being learning to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, sitting in a level of quiet - and I will always hold space, because sometimes that is the best therapy. I work with a lense that looks at the culture of an individual, as we all have a story, and we all sometimes carry the damage or disruption of yesterday. I will plant seeds to assist with you growing your own garden with what you wish to see at harvest time. Zoom is a great way to bring geographic restrictions into not being disruptive. My word to you is trust...
