Rachael Flack

Rachael Flack is an AASW social worker with 16 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression and ADHD concerns. She also focuses on caregiver stress, pregnancy and childbirth issues, self-love and the effects of divorce and separation.

Rachael draws on her lived experience as a mother of three and someone who has navigated IVF, pregnancy loss and separation. That background shapes how she listens and responds. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where worries can be talked through plainly.

Sessions combine talk therapy with practical tools that fit a busy life. Rachael says simple strategies can make daily routines easier for parents and carers. She encourages small steps that lead to meaningful change rather than just conversation.

Rachael also works as a postpartum doula and runs women’s circles, and she volunteers with a miscarriage support network. These roles inform her understanding of fertility, perinatal loss and early parenting challenges.

Her approach suits people who want emotional support plus hands-on coping techniques. She supports people who are ready to try new ways of managing stress and to uncover a truer sense of self. Rachael offers down-to-earth guidance and practical next steps to help clients move forward.

Approaches that combine talking with practical skills

Rachael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on useful day-to-day skills alongside emotional work. One common approach she uses is structured problem-solving, which helps break down worries into clear steps and practical actions you can try between sessions. This is useful for parenting challenges, caregiver stress and managing anxious moments.

Another approach emphasizes emotion-focused listening and processing. That method helps people name difficult feelings, make sense of loss or separation, and reduce shame and self-criticism. Together these styles balance feeling heard with learning small strategies that fit real life.

Finding the right mix of ways to work is collaborative. Rachael will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most workable. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and achievable.

If you want online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and avoid travel time. Discussing practical boundaries and what you hope to achieve helps make remote sessions effective.
