About Rachel Glasgow
Rachel is a qualified Clinical Psychotherapist and Tibetan Buddhist Psychotherapist, she is also a qualified Couples and Family Therapist and Dream Analyst.
Rachel has over 30 years professional experience across a range of clinical services. Initially in New Zealand and since 1994 in the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia.
Prior to going in to Private Practice, Rachel worked in a Child Psychiatric Unit in New Zealand as a Child and Family Therapist, and then at Glenburn Centre, for Presbytarian Support Services, in Auckland, New Zealand as part of the Family Therapy team.
Rachel has completed a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Iowa State University, USA, and a Clinical Psychotherapy training, a Post Graduate training in Dream Analysis and a post-graduate training in Tibetan Buddhist Psychotherapy with the Australian and New Zealand Association of Independent Dream Analysts (ANZAIDA), all training for working with the unconscious, the sacred and dreams.
Locations
Rachel's private practice is in Leura, in the upper Blue Mountains, and Surry Hills Sydney, NSW. She has been providing counselling services for individuals, couples, and families in the Mountains and Sydney over the last twenty three years.
Rachel is the Clinical Training Coordinator for The Australian Institute of Relationship Studies (AIRS), the training arm of Relationships Australia NSW and a Senior Consultant Psychotherapist for EATFED in Leichhardt, Sydney.
What to expect in a consultation
In Private Practice, Rachel specializes in both short and longer term individual counselling and psychotherapy and relationship counselling for couples and families.
Trauma Relief Therapy focuses on specific trauma-based issues, such as anxiety, depression, intrusive and/or repetitive thoughts, sleep disturbances, which have their origins in a past or current trauma. This therapy is short term and can provide extraordinary relief of these symptoms in a relatively short span of sessions. This therapy can enable a return of normal feeling and functioning and has in many instances freed up natural understandings and perspectives for clients, meaning they can move on in their lives without the trauma and its associated complications weighing them down.
Longer term psychotherapy allows for a more gradual working through of issues and room is made for the unconscious in the therapeutic relationship, so that there is slow, steady, reliable change as repeating patterns and unconscious issues are made conscious and more options of responding freed up.
The main underlying theme in longer term therapy, is the movement towards a more natural, genuine, resourceful sense of self as an adult and undoing ideas of how one is “supposed to be” or “should be”. It is about having a more integrated sense of being an adult which means slowly mending core wounds and traumas, misunderstandings and hurts. It is about acquiring an understanding of one’s life in a bigger, more realistic and compassionate view of oneself and others as imperfect, and “good enough” human beings.”
“People get depressed and anxious for good reasons, it is a healthy response to something being wrong, something not going right and actually needing to be attended to in their lives. It is not, necessarily, a mental health or psychiatric issue, but rather an opportunity for deeper maturing emotionally, psychologically and relationally.
Having a safe, confidential therapeutic relationship is often the first, constructive experience of an interdependent relationship in which the client is focused on and where their deeper needs are attended to, this rebuilds and re-establishes a sense of self esteem and self regard essential for navigating the challenges of ordinary life and mending core wounds.
This is an extraordinarily worthwhile investment in your life and naturally one that takes time and effort.
I am constantly inspired by people’s courage in their lives while in therapy as they get to know themselves on a much deeper level. Dreams can be a very valuable part of therapy, as clients discover their own inner wisdom assisting them in the process of finding their own answers and their own way forward in their life”
Initial appointments include discussion of options for counselling and therapy and give both myself and the client a chance to get a feel for working together.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE, OR BECOME A BUDDHIST, TO BENEFIT FROM TIBETAN BUDDHIST PSYCHOTHERAPY
Rachel's work as a Tibetan Buddhist Psychotherapist integrates some of the foundational concepts in Tibetan Buddhism with clinical psychotherapy. Concepts such as impermanence, the truth of death, the uncertainty of the timing of death, compassion and interdependence offer a different quality of understanding compared to the usual western, Christian and medical paradigms.
Couple Therapy for communication and intimacy skills; developing awareness of your own and your partner's relationship
styles and attachment issues; creating a culture of appreciation and support and gaining strategies and capacities to sort out conflict safely and meaningfully, being able to understand influences from your family of origin you are bringing to your relationship, and sorting out what is good and useful in that and what is not. Repairing and mending disappointments and relationship failures through deep listening and speaking processes in the safe holding of the therapeutic environment.
