Rachael Flack is an AASW social worker with 16 years of experience who focuses on women's issues, parenting and life transitions. She draws on her own experience of pregnancy loss, IVF, separation and parenting neurodivergent children to relate to people navigating similar challenges. Rachael aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for busy lives.

Rachael supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD concerns, and the pressures of parenting. She also helps with caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, pregnancy and childbirth, and building self-love. Conversations cover both feelings and day-to-day coping.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Rachael combines talk therapy with simple, useful strategies that fit into everyday routines.

Rachael has worked with a wide range of people over her career and in recent years has concentrated on women, mothers and parents. She also volunteers with a miscarriage support network and runs women’s circles, which informs her understanding of community and loss.

Clients can expect practical tools as well as emotional support. Rachael encourages small actions that lead to bigger change, and she supports people as they try new ways of coping. She is available to help people who want to find a more authentic and satisfying life.

Approaches that combine talk and practical tools

Rachael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend emotional processing with everyday strategies. One common approach is structured talk therapy that helps people clarify feelings, identify unhelpful patterns and develop small actions to change how they cope. This approach suits anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns.

She also uses problem-focused techniques that break challenges into manageable steps and teach practical skills. These techniques can help with parenting difficulties, caregiver stress, and navigating life transitions such as separation or pregnancy loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews what's working and adjusts the plan together as progress happens.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a convenient location or who need flexible timing during the week.
