WELCOME

Working together to understand the patterns beneath your distress, reconnect with your emotional core, and build lasting psychological change

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.
