My name is Rachael and I have a genuine love for helping people overcome challenges and helping people improve their quality of life. My goal as a psychologist is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you will be able to work on your goals and be yourself.

I work with ages 16+ on issues including anxiety, low mood, stress, adjusting to changes, chronic pain/illness and trauma.

Have you ever left a therapy session feeling unheard, like your therapist was more focused on applying a technique than truly understanding you? It’s frustrating when you’re not met where you are - when no one takes the time to explore the unique depth of your personality, whilst also providing quality treatment. I’ve been there too. That’s why I founded Centred Life Psychology, to serve as a sanctuary for individuals from BIPOC communities who value their faith and cultural identity, and who also value compassionate care that is provided in a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive and faith-based framework.

As your clinical psychologist, I want to understand your situation, so I start by listening to you with a curious, open mind and without judgement.

From this foundation of understanding, we work collaboratively to find practical strategies to manage your thoughts, behaviours and feelings. So whether you need long-term support or an occasional visit, you can move forward with more ease, confidence and optimism.

Do you have children experiencing big feelings and you're not sure how to help them?

Are you finding it hard to cope with day to day stressors. Do you have difficulty with food and body image, maybe you are restricting, binging, purging or yo-yo dieting. Have you found that your drug or alcohol intake has increased and is starting to feel out of control, or has been out of control for a while, have you just had a lapse/relapse. Is your anxiety holding you back or are you having difficulty with your relationships, emotion regulation or asserting boundaries?

Through my therapeutic work I have realised that in order to heal and resolve our deep emotional wounds we must focus on the whole picture, our mind, body and our soul. If we want to create lasting transformation, we must switch off the autopilot, our habitual thoughts and behavioural patterns that have been working against us. We must be willing to take the first steps towards discovering who we truly are. Discovering our true authentic self and our worth, is the most empowering experience that we can achieve on our healing journey. In the words of E. Tolle, “You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness
