Rachel Richardson

Registered Psychologist
Psychology Board-approved Supervisor

B. A Psychology (Honours), Master Professional Psychology

​

For more than 15 years, Rachel has worked alongside children, young people and families, helping them better understand the emotional, behavioural and developmental challenges they face. Her career has spanned youth and family services, education and private practice, providing a depth of experience that continues to shape the way she approaches therapy today.

​

Rachel is a registered psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA), and works with children, adolescents and adults. She has extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, OCD, emotional dysregulation and school-related challenges, as well as those exploring or navigating neurodivergence, including Autism and ADHD.

 

​Rachel is also a Board-approved Supervisor with the Psychology Board of Australia, providing professional supervision to psychologists. She enjoys supporting clinicians to develop confidence, deepen their clinical thinking and provide neuroaffirming, evidence-informed care to the children, adolescents and families they work with.

​

Rachel believes meaningful change begins with understanding. She works collaboratively with children, families and schools to make sense of behaviours, emotions and patterns that may feel confusing or overwhelming, helping everyone develop a shared understanding of what is happening and why.

​

Parents are an important part of the therapeutic process. Rachel enjoys supporting families to better understand their child's unique profile while providing practical, evidence-informed strategies that can be confidently used at home and, where appropriate, in partnership with schools and other professionals.

​

Families often describe Rachel as warm, thoughtful and easy to talk to. She values building genuine relationships and creating a safe, collaborative space where children, young people and adults feel understood, supported and empowered to move towards the life that matters most to them.​​​​​​
