About Rachel
AHPRA. 16 years' experience. Rachel Jones is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with sixteen years working in mental health. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue, and she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support people coping with these issues.
Rachel takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. She helps people identify what's keeping them stuck and then tries out small, doable changes. Discussions cover feelings, behaviours and everyday routines, with attention to relationships and workplace stress when relevant.
She draws on therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside mindfulness and narrative approaches. These methods are used to reduce unhelpful thinking, build coping skills and increase psychological flexibility.
Rachel also pays attention to trauma, attachment and adjustment difficulties. This can mean working gradually on distressing memories, improving safety in relationships and practising new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's needs. People can expect clear goals, practical strategies to try between sessions and review of what helps. Rachel practises in Australia and offers work in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling with Rachel Jones
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT often focuses on practical experiments and small changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. ACT supports flexibility and value-driven action rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree on methods that match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may involve trying different techniques to see what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins during a busy day, or letting someone choose audio-only if they prefer not to be on camera. Talk with the counsellor about practical arrangements and which session structure will suit your routine best.
