Q. Can Rachel really help me? What can she really do about it anyway? Rachel can’t fix my situation.

A. No! Rachel firmly believes that every person’s journey and choices in life are unique. And she'll support you to live your life, your way. Everything you say is totally private and confidential. Think of it as your safe space, with someone who is completely on your side.

Q. How long will I need to go for?

A. Everyone’s situation is different. Some people may need just a few sessions to help through a tough time, whereas others may need more intensive sessions over a period of time. Most clients have more frequent sessions at first and then gradually reduce their sessions. Many choose to continue on an ongoing basis, and we compare this to looking after your car. If there are problems, you get them addressed. But it is also good to have the car maintained by regular servicing every so often to prevent problems in the future.
