Treatment Areas

Hi there, my name is Rachel Goodwin and I have been working at The Long Gallery since 2016 and have practiced as a psychologist since 2008. I started my career in Canberra and moved back to Qld in 2011. I have worked in both medical centres and private practice since then helping adolescents and adults with a wide range of presentations.Since the start of Covid-19, we have all experienced long periods of stress including the impacts of recent flooding. As a first time Mum in 2020, I am aware of how tricky it can be in ‘juggling multiple balls in the air’ at a given time and especially ‘balls from left field’. If we reach a state of ‘overwhelm’ where we’re stuck ‘in the mud’, feel hopeless, shutdown and unable to keep ‘juggling’, then it’s vital that we reach out for support and realise we’re not alone! My practices include both mindfulness and compassion and I am available for sessions in 2023. I have experience working with addictions, mood and anxiety conditions, complex bereavement and trauma, and my aim is to help clients move forward in a valued and meaningful direction. Being a country girl at heart, I also appreciate nature and use this to help anchor clients to the present moment. I would love to help anyone who is experiencing overwhelm and would like some support.
