About Rachel
Rachel Grant is an AASW social worker who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and the effects of trauma. She brings three years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for busy parents and carers. Her approach blends attention to the body with attachment ideas.
She pays close attention to the nervous system and how stress shows up in feelings and behaviour. Rachel uses evidence-based techniques that start with small, doable steps rather than complicated theory.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded and straightforward. She listens for what feels unsafe or overwhelming, then offers tools for calming and regulation. Work often includes practising breathing, grounding, and small behavioural experiments to build confidence between sessions.
Rachel also helps people work through parenting strain, family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and feelings of abandonment and shame. She supports those coping with depression, isolation, and the aftermath of abuse or neglect. Her style is gentle but direct.
She values collaboration and invites clients to set goals and pace. Rachel explains options clearly so people can choose what fits their life and needs.
How therapy methods translate to online care
Rachel uses evidence-based, bottom-up techniques that focus on the body and nervous system. These approaches teach simple regulation skills such as grounding, paced breathing and movement-based strategies to reduce overwhelm. They help people who experience anxiety, panic or the physical effects of trauma by offering tools to calm intense sensations.She also works with attachment-focused ideas that look at how early relationships shape emotional responses. This approach involves talking through relationship patterns and practising new ways of relating and responding, which can reduce shame and build self-compassion.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt strategies to the client's goals and comfort. Together they check progress and change direction if something does not fit.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues during longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or times when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and everyday life.
