About Calm & Co.
Calm and Co. is a small, friendly, and locally run counselling service, situated within the welcoming community feel of 'The Barn' in New Brighton. Rachel opened the practice after returning home after a number of years in Australia, armed with a passion for providing a safe, nurturing and respectful counselling service for people seeking additional support in their lives. Rachel is a fully registered Social Worker, who began a new journey as a counsellor after further study in psychology. Rachel has experience in counselling teenagers at risk of homelessness, providing child and adolescent counselling in schools, and general child, adult and family counselling As a Social Worker, Rachel has had extensive experience supporting people with a disability, particularly with neurodivergent children, teens and adults. Over a number of years, Rachel developed a particular interest in supporting girls and women with ASD/ADHD, and she recognises the different presentation and challenges that girls and women face.
Along with standard counselling therapies, Rachel has recognised a need for providing alternative therapies that offer a more holistic approach to healing, and has completed accredited certifications in areas such as inner child healing, and transforming trauma through spiritual healing. Every person is supported in a way that is most comfortable and beneficial to them, whether it involves talking therapies, practical strategies, structured programs, or a combination of approaches.
