The Challenge:
Breakup Grief & Mental Loops
"When I was referred to Rachel, I was having some challenges in my relationship and I wanted to see someone who wasn’t a psychologist. I was just curious about parts work and really enjoyed hearing about my friend’s personal experience with Rachel, so I decided to see her to process some icky feelings I needed help with. In the process of seeing Rachel, I actually broke up with my partner. The heartbreak hit hard, and I found myself stuck in a cycle of deep-rooted beliefs that made me question everything—my worth, my significance in my partner’s life, and whether I needed to “move on” just because they had.”
The Experience:
A SAFE & NURTURING SPACE TO PROCESS
"I felt like I’d been gifted an angel…Rachel was such a beautiful support." She created a safe space for me to express raw emotions and spiraling thoughts without judgment. "I felt so comfortable to verbal diarrhea with someone."
What made this experience different was Rachel's approach; she didn’t just help me talk through my emotions—she helped me shift them. We explored the thoughts keeping me stuck in a worst-case scenario loop.
I was heartbroken thinking I had to move on because I thought my partner had. Rachel helped me understand that I didn’t need to move on just because I assumed he had—I could take my time to accept the breakup in my own timing.
The Transformation:
RECLAIMING POWER & INNER PEACE
“When I dived deeply into my body, I realised I have so much power within, and that I am okay. I recognised I didn’t have to give power to thoughts telling me I wasn’t enough or that I needed to 'move on' because of someone else’s timeline. I could take my time, listen to myself, and trust my own process. My post-breakup blues would’ve been dark without Rachel. I understood that much of my pain stemmed from beliefs about myself, not the situation. I learned to analyse how I think about myself and confronted the negative mental loops I often fell into. Thank you, Rachel, for your techniques, listening, and perspectives that helped me shift these patterns. I highly recommend a session with her.”
