Rachel Braithwaite
Clinical Psychologist in Melbourne
I’m Rachel — a compassionate and dedicated psychologist working in both private practice and at a fertility clinic. I have years of experience supporting people through emotionally complex and deeply personal challenges.
​
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, supported, and understood. My approach is grounded in empathy and emotional attunement, and I tailor therapy to meet you where you’re at — whether you're facing ongoing challenges, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to better understand yourself.
​
I’m particularly passionate about helping people explore and work through the deeper emotional patterns that might be holding them back. While my work is primarily informed by Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), I also draw on other evidence-based approaches depending on your needs, including CBT, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and relational therapies.
