Rachael Flack, AASW

Rachael Flack is an AASW-accredited social worker with 16 years of experience who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting and perinatal issues. She also supports people managing ADHD, relationship separation, and the particular strains that come with caregiving. Her background as a postpartum doula and women's circle facilitator informs a practical, hands-on approach.

Rachael speaks plainly and keeps sessions practical. She invites clients to talk through feelings and then tries simple strategies they can use in daily life. She often offers short, realistic tools for busy parents who need ideas they can actually try between appointments.

Her own life experience - including pregnancy loss, fertility challenges, parenting neurodivergent children and navigating an amicable separation - shapes how she relates to clients. Those experiences give her familiarity with the ups and downs of motherhood and family transition without assuming everyone has the same path.

Rachael aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can name difficult emotions and work on next steps. She combines listening with clear, practical suggestions and supports people who want to make change. Many clients come looking for ways to feel more like themselves again while balancing caring responsibilities.

People interested in working with Rachael should expect a collaborative process. She emphasises small, doable actions alongside conversation and supports parents and women through life changes, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, grief, and caregiver stress.

How evidence-based techniques can help online

Rachael works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on change and coping. One common approach she uses is talk-based therapy that helps people name and work through difficult emotions and life transitions. This kind of work is suited to grief, anxiety, depression and the emotional effects of parenting changes.

She also emphasises practical, skills-based strategies to manage day-to-day demands. These techniques teach small routines and coping tools that are easy to try between sessions and can help with caregiver stress, perinatal adjustment, and balancing work and family life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachael will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then choose or adapt techniques together so they fit the client's circumstances.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Rachael currently offers before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so care fits around caring responsibilities and other commitments.
