Rachel Anthony, AASW

Rachel Anthony is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker in Australia with experience supporting people through complex trauma and related challenges. She has worked with individuals affected by sexual assault and abuse, childhood trauma, family violence, and difficulties within intimate relationships, as well as with people navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. AASW appears as her listed credential, denoting accreditation for mental health social work in Australia.

Her clinical style is gentle, trauma-informed, and person-centred, focusing on safety, attunement, and the client’s own goals. She draws on a mix of approaches including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and somatic practices to support healing and recovery. These modalities are woven into sessions to help clients process painful experiences while building resources for emotional regulation and resilience.

Rachel frames therapy as a gradual process of reconnecting with oneself, cultivating a greater sense of safety, and developing self-compassion. Her practice centers on helping people move toward increased resilience, clearer self-trust, and improved wellbeing.
