Yogahari Healing provides healing, personal growth and spirituality, through therapy and yoga. I have been supporting people through personal healing for 30 years. I am a qualified Social Worker, Family Constellation Facilitator, Emotional Focused Couples Therapist and Emotional Focused Individual Therapist. I work with women, men, couples and families and can support people through the following experiences: -trauma -depression -anxiety -sexual abuse and sexual assault -childhood trauma -family issues -relationship difficulties -infidelity -couple counselling -grief and loss -building boundaries -communication -building self-esteem and self-care In my early years I worked in the community sector as a youth counsellor, family counsellor and as a group work facilitator assisting mothers and women heal from family violence. Ten years ago I moved into private practice. My therapeutic approach approach is very relational meaning that I place a great deal of importance in building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and safety. The support varies according to what each individual person is seeking and open to. I can draw on a few approaches to healing the wounded psyche/self and trauma using healing approaches and modalities such as: Emotional Focussed Therapy, somatic work, psycho-dynamic theory, trauma-informed practice, attachment theory, strength-based practice, Family Constellation work and Radical Exposure Tapping and mindfulness. What makes my work a little unique is that I am also a yoga teacher and can draw on yoga psychology for people interested in exploring life challenges, traumas and issues from this life perspective. In my years of experience as a therapist, I have witnessed the immense benefits that this adds to helping people create openings for new ways of thinking and being!

**Stop Reacting. Start Choosing. Transform How You Show Up.** If you’re finding yourself stuck in the same patterns, snapping when you want to stay calm, people-pleasing when you meant to say no, or overthinking even when you're trying to let go, you’re not alone. Reading advice is great. But real change happens when you learn how to pause in the moment and access the deeper, unconscious part of you that’s actually running the show. That’s where I come in! Hi, I’m Rachel. For years, I searched high and low for answers to both physical pain and emotional overwhelm. I tried everything, until I found what really worked, and that was, gently rewiring the unconscious mind and creating space to choose a different response. I help people like you: - Stop procrastinating and start doing - Calm anxiety and feel more in control - Let go of self-sabotage and unhelpful habits - Heal from trauma (without reliving it) - Transform negative self-talk - Improve relationships (especially with yourself) - Navigate life with confidence, calm, and clarity This isn’t just talk therapy. It’s fast, gentle, and effective. I work with what’s under the surface so change feels natural and lasts. You don’t have to stay stuck in old loops. Let’s build your pause button together so you can finally respond the way you wish you could in the moment. It’s possible, and easier than you think. I look forward to helping UchangeU (You Change You). Regards Rachel Mindset Coach & Keynote Speaker www.uchangeu.com.au

Personal support tailored to your situation

There are times when having space to talk openly can make a meaningful difference. Individual therapy and counselling provide one-to-one support to help you work through thoughts, emotions and personal challenges at your own pace.

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, life changes or simply looking for support and clarity, working with a therapist or counsellor can help you better understand your situation and develop ways to move forward.

1. Tell us what you’d like support with

Start by sharing what you’re looking for help with. Individual therapy and counselling can support areas such as:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Relationship or family concerns
  • Life transitions and change
  • Work-related pressures
  • General emotional wellbeing

You can also specify whether you prefer online or in-person sessions.

2. Compare therapists and counsellors

After submitting your request, you’ll hear from therapists and counsellors across Australia. You can review profiles, experience and areas of focus to find someone who feels suitable for your needs.

When considering professionals, it may help to look at:

  • Areas of experience or specialisation
  • Therapy or counselling approach
  • Session format and availability
  • Pricing and session structure
  • Communication style

Feeling comfortable with the person you choose is an important part of the process.

3. Work through things at your own pace

Once you’ve chosen a therapist or counsellor, sessions typically take place regularly based on your needs and availability.

Over time, therapy can help you gain perspective, develop coping strategies and feel more supported in managing challenges.

What individual therapy and counselling can help with

Therapy and counselling may support:

  • Managing stress and emotions
  • Building confidence and resilience
  • Navigating personal or professional changes
  • Understanding behaviour patterns
  • Improving communication and relationships

Different professionals may use different approaches depending on your goals.

What to expect from sessions

Most therapy journeys begin with an initial session where you discuss what you’d like support with and how sessions will work.

Ongoing sessions provide a confidential space to talk, reflect and explore different ways of approaching challenges.
