Healing through Compassion
Are you tired of always the same "problems"?
For some, the need for guidance is clear—whether it’s the weight of declining mental health, ADHD taking over, the lingering grip of a traumatic event, or struggles with substance use. You may be navigating PTSD or battling intrusive thoughts, feeling as though life is spiralling out of control.
For others, it’s more subtle. Perhaps you’re feeling suffocated at work, constantly running out of time, or struggling with unexplained anxiety. Maybe you’re stuck in repeating patterns of unhealthy relationships, battling burnout, or lacking the resilience to manage everyday stress. These are often signs that a deeper level of self-awareness and healing is needed.
Life can be challenging, and many of us find ourselves stuck in repeating cycles—whether it’s anxiety, addictions, strained relationships, or feelings of overwhelm—that prevent us from living fulfilling lives.
Sounds familiar?
Often, we haven’t learned how to truly connect with ourselves, understand our core needs and boundaries, or practice self-validation. This is where compassionate inquiry sessions including powerful tools like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness, can help you break free from these patterns and discover the wholeness you deserve.
Feedback & Reviews
“Rachelle is a damn good coach. She listens with so much compassion that it is contagious. A gift so scarce in today’s society. She has guided me into having the same compassion with myself and those around me, strengthening my connections and lifting the heavy weight of shame and self judgement. We wasted no time, her therapy methods made a beeline for my trauma. There were a lot of tears and a hell of a lot of anger but most importantly, a depth of healing. I would recommend her hands down without any reservations. Her personal experiences have collided with her training with Gabor Mate and created a beautiful symphony of therapeutic magic.”
“I have attended several sessions with Rachelle, and honestly they became the time of the week that I am looking forward to. Her presence is calming, grounded, and I can feel I am safely dropping into my body, into the space ready to be held. I have had some eye-opening moments during the seasons and because of Rachelle’s guidance I could walk away from the room with clearer mind and open heart. I feel very grateful to find the therapist with whom I feel safe and understood.”
“This form of therapy has made me understand myself more; my own patterns, insecurities, judgements and has shown me how to be more compassionate towards myself. It has taught me (and still is) to recognise emotions that are linked to past experiences and how they can trigger certain patterns and behaviours. This in return has been very helpful in my relationships with other people.”
“Cannot recommend it enough. This mode of therapy is truly transformational, and I was one of the fortunate ones who can testify to this groundbreaking work and Rachelle is an amazingly talented coach.”
What I Do
I help people with
(complex)-ptsd, anxiety, addiction, therapy during microdosing plant medicine, abuse, feeling lost in general, overwhelm, grief, suicidal ideation, adhd/add and other mental health challenges, dissociation; anyone who is suffering from the effects of trauma.
For this I use compassionate inquiry (developed by Dr Gabor Mate,) Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Nature practices.
What is Compassionate Inquiry?
Compassionate Inquiry reveals what lies beneath the appearance to the world. It exposes and shows the masks that we wear and unconsciously hide behind. Compassionate Inquiry is a method of guided inquiry that looks at the essence of trauma, which is the disconnection from the authentic self.

My Story
I have been able to integrate my personal and professional experience into a unique approach for helping others. Today, I use compassionate inquiry, Internal Family Systems, and mindful lifestyle strategies to help clients experience their truth, and for the first time being able to see and express this, and reconnect with their inner self.
The start of my inner journey was through a meditation practice, and this taught me how we need to find stillness to go within. It takes great courage and determination to keep going, as we first will have to stir up the dirt. With the guidance of great teachers, I continue to reconnect to my authentic self, and use my journey to help others.
I studied for 18 months, training under Compassionate Inquiry from the Hungarian-Canadian doctor, Dr. Gabor Maté – a world leader in mental and physical health, addiction, and trauma – and as a result work together with some amazing people in the field from all over the world.
