Life Coaching Counselling in Sydney, NSW

I have helped my clients to face and eventually embrace the many challenges that life presents, finding a constructive and individually unique way forward.

I am a registered psychologist with several years of experience helping clients with a number of issues, including depression, anxiety, bullying, stress, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, anger, social difficulties, behavioural issues, self-esteem, coping with change and life adjustments. My warm, open and non-judgemental approach allows me to easily build strong rapport with my clients and make them feel comfortable and safe. I have a keen interest in client-centred approach, drawing on an eclectic framework of therapeutic interventions, with the aim of building upon the client’s strengths.

I am a Registered General Psychologist experienced in working with a wide range of common adult mental health concerns in an open, sincere and frank manner, including anger management, depression, anxiety, stress, adjustment and obsessive compulsive disorders as well as various addictions (alcohol, drug, gambling, sex, internet) and recovery. As an older therapist, I bring decades of life experience into my counselling, with personal experience of many of the challenges facing clients, including trauma, grief/loss, sex/relationship and men's issues, workplace stress/bullying, hoarding, culture shock, parenting and adoption.

I have always had a particular love for supporting the people around me, especially the people closest to me. Utilising therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and more, to provide a positive experience of support, guidance and compassion for others to achieve a more fulfilling and peaceful life, is the ultimate objective of my services and Ropana Therapy.

Are you struggling with conflict and feeling distant from your partner? Are you constantly worried about life and what happens next? Or is it more about what happened today or yesterday? Are you overcome by a significant loss in your life? A job, your health, a friend, a partner, a house, a family member? Or is life just so “blahhh” that it is a struggle to get through the day? All these situations and many others are a result of your most intimate and important relationship – the one you have with yourself!

I provide empathetic and non-judgemental support to adolescents (16+), adults and older adults from the queer, transgender, gender-questioning (LGBTQIA+) and neurodivergent communities in the Sydney area (in-person/online) and Australia-wide (online only). I can help you to manage symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression, improve your mental health, enhance your relationships, explore your sexual/gender identities, work through 'coming out', increase self-esteem or navigate life changes. Life today can be challenging and, at times, seeking therapy can help you work through life's difficulties in a safe, supported way.

No two people are the same, no two stories identical. Perhaps you are already clear about what you want from therapy, perhaps our starting point is to figure this out. No matter what, all of you is welcome. Together, we aim to: heal old emotional wounds you might still be hurting from, clear up current anxiety, stress confusion or disheartenment that weigh on you; make good decisions for your life and find inner joy, calm and balance to sustain you in a meaningful way of being. When working with couples, I support partners to repair relational injuries, strengthen communication, commitment and trust and deepen love and intimacy.

Something isn’t quite right. It may be that you can’t stop yourself from worrying. Or you are compulsively avoiding things (places, people, certain situations). Perhaps you find yourself flying into a sudden, uncontrollable, panic. It may be that you are feeling down: you can’t shake the sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness in your life. You may be feeling worthless and guilty too. It could be your relationships that aren’t working (partner, friends, family, boss, or colleagues). Perhaps past experiences are haunting you so that you lose your connection to the present and the people in it. Perhaps it's all of the above.

Feeling anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing burnout at work? Are you going through some tough times in your marriage or relationship? Do you have issues with your faith that are leaving you with an overwhelming sense of guilt and shame? Are you going through grief and loss? Do you feel lost and are in need of some form of guidance? Do you need professional supervision? If your answer is "yes" to any of these questions, you have come to the right place.

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 believe there is no one size fits all approach to therapy and work with you to create a personalised plan based on your specific needs which includes helping you learn evidence-based skills to work through the challenges you are facing. I work with ages 16+ on issues including anxiety, low mood, stress, adjusting to changes, chronic pain/illness and trauma.

Modern life presents us with enormous challenges: in our work, our relationships and within ourselves. We are strong and capable beings, yet sometimes we can become overwhelmed, feel that we have lost our way, lost our sense of purpose and lost control. We need guidance and support; someone that we can talk to; someone that will listen; someone that will help us get back on track. We may need help with relationships, as couples or individuals; coping with anxiety, stress or depression at home or in the workplace; self-esteem and assertiveness; anger management, life coaching and mentoring.

You may feel anxious, depressed, experience recurrent unhelpful relationship patterns, have a pervasive sense of discontent or just feel stuck. I can help you understand the history of your problems and learn healthier ways to relate to yourself and others. Whether you are dealing with unresolved early trauma, need help setting better boundaries in relationships, feel you don't quite belong, are underachieving, or cannot enjoy your successes, I can help you find solutions to your immediate issues, while also exploring how your previous life experiences affect your responses, relationships and self-perception.

I am dedicated to guiding and empowering clients as they navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and life's most challenging transitions. My goal is to support individuals in healing their emotional wounds, achieving internal harmony, and unlocking the life they truly deserve. As a result of our work together, you will gain clarity on the issues you're working through, understand and appreciate your inner world, heal any wounded parts of yourself, and develop a more mindful and compassionate way forward.
