Rachel Jones, AHPRA

Rachel Jones is a compassionate, experienced registered psychologist who supports people through periods of change, distress and recovery. With 16 years of clinical experience, she works with adults and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress and adjustment difficulties, workplace and interpersonal challenges, self-esteem concerns, compassion fatigue, neurodivergence and disability, and the transitions that shape identity and relationships. Rachel’s approach blends evidence-based therapies to create a tailored treatment plan for each person she sees, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), dyadic developmental psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, narrative and solution-focused techniques, positive psychology and family therapy to address both symptoms and underlying patterns.

She prioritises collaboration and practical skill-building so clients leave with tools to manage distress, strengthen resilience and move toward meaningful goals. Working from a strengths-based perspective, Rachel aims to help people feel heard and understood while developing the resources to be their best selves. Rachel is registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), reflecting her standing with the national registration board for health professionals in Australia.

Evidence-based approaches delivered online

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another focus - it helps people clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences and commit to meaningful actions even when discomfort is present. Rachel also integrates mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to explore which techniques best match their goals, needs and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with an appropriately qualified or registered professional offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations. These options support timely contact and ongoing skill practice while allowing the therapist and client to focus on the same goals and progress together.
