Depression, fear, and anxiety are deeply challenging emotions that many of us face at different points in our life. Counselling can help you navigate these feelings, offering support and tools to rediscover your motivation, regain perspective, and reconnect with the sense of joy and purpose you may have lost.
Many people experience lasting effects from painful or traumatic events - feelings like anxiety, fear, and hopelessness can linger long after the experience itself. I will support you in working through these emotions, guiding you through the process of grief and healing.
Relationship counselling can be beneficial for couples at any stage of a relationship, whether you're looking to deepen your emotional connection or navigate challenges together. In a supportive and non-judgmental space, sessions are held with both partners to explore concerns, improve communication, and work toward stronger, healthier relationship dynamics.
A schema is a negative belief about yourself, the world and how you fit into the world. As individuals, we develop schemas through modelled behaviour from our caregivers and traumatic experiences. As a result, we live our lives making decisions and exhibiting certain behaviours and reactions because of our personal schemas. I will work with you to identify your schema and coping behaviours, and help you develop a greater sense of self-worth.
Reaching out for support isn’t always easy.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start.
My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly and begin to make sense of what’s going on — without judgement and at your own pace.
Hi, I’m Rachel, founder of Thrive Counselling, and a passionate, proactive counsellor dedicated to helping people make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
My interest in counselling began with a deep curiosity about how we work as human beings - emotionally and psychologically. This curiosity combined with my desire to empower people to live their best lives led me to pursuing a career in counselling.
My counselling practice is based in the beautiful rural town of Inverell, NSW, and I’ve been working professionally in this field since 2017. I’m a Level 2 member of the Australian Counselling Association, and my work is based on both evidence-based practices and the real-life insights I’ve gained from a diverse and dynamic career.
I offer in-person consultations and Zoom and phone sessions.
Whether you need guidance, are working through trauma or want to change your life, I will provide a warm, safe and confidential space where you can speak freely and explore your emotions.
I offer empathy, understanding, and education around trauma and its impacts, along with encouragement and validation for everything you’ve gone through. I’ll also challenge you by putting forward different perspectives for you to process and making you accountable for the changes you want to make in your life.
My style is honest, empathetic, and action-oriented, grounded in both professional training and a wealth of lived experience that helps me relate to the challenges you’re facing.
I believe that change is always possible - and I’m here to HELP guide you through your journey to change.
While I work with a diverse range of clients, my expertise lies in supporting victims of narcissistic abuse, those healing from childhood trauma, relationship counselling, and individuals seeking to make a positive change in their circumstances.
When you walk through the door at Thrive, you can expect a safe, judgement-free and confidential space to share your experiences, explore your emotions, and be truly heard.
Many of my clients now choose to attend sessions via Zoom or by phone—and are often surprised by how comfortable and effective it feels.
Online counselling allows you to:
- access support from the comfort of your own home
- avoid travel and save time
- feel more relaxed in a familiar environment
For many people, it actually feels easier to open up from their own space.
Whether you’re local or anywhere in Australia, you can access support in a way that fits your life.
I offer in-person, Zoom and phone consultations.
