About Rachel
Rachel Gordon is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience based in Australia. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling with anxiety, or dealing with addiction. Rachel aims to make it straightforward to talk about hard things and to take the first steps towards change.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they really feel. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult moments and on building skills that help day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Rachel encourages small, realistic steps so progress feels achievable. Her background includes work with family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also helps people sort through issues around attachment, abandonment and caregiver stress.
These areas often connect with anxiety and stress, so Rachel looks at how patterns in relationships affect emotional wellbeing. Conversations often cover communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and life purpose. Rachel pays attention to how practical pressures such as money and parenting can heighten anxiety.
She also supports people dealing with pregnancy and childbirth challenges or recovering from post-traumatic stress. Rachel holds PACFA credentials, which indicate recognised professional standards in Australia. Sessions are conducted in English and are aimed at people who want straightforward, compassionate support.
She focuses on helping individuals find clearer choices and more manageable ways of living.
Practical approaches for online therapy and wellbeing
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, actionable steps. One common approach she uses helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and stress in the moment, such as breathing practices, grounding and simple behavioural changes that reduce overwhelm. This style is useful for day-to-day anxiety, panic moments and when stress is affecting routines.Another area of her work looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. This involves noticing how past experiences shape current reactions and learning new ways to communicate and set boundaries. It can help with loneliness, repeated relationship problems and feelings of abandonment.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. She aims to match techniques to what feels most useful for the individual rather than using a single fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep contact between sessions when helpful.
