The Principal Psychologist

Rachel Abramson specialises in career counselling and hypnotherapy. She provides the full range of career counselling services from career assessments and personality testing, through to career coaching, planning, development and change. She can help you find your first job, return to work, move up the career ladder, or make a career change. She can help you prepare your resume, present yourself at the job interview, tap into the hidden job market, overcome barriers in your career, manage workplace conflict and office politics, build negotiation and networking skills as well as set up, run and grow your own business.

Rachel provides hypnotherapy to help her clients overcome their concerns. She uses a combination of Ericksonian Hypnosis, Solution Oriented Counselling and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in her work. She finds it is a delightful way of helping her clients with their worries. She has helped people with a range of problems, including alcoholism, anxiety, dental phobia, depression, grief, jaw clenching, jaw grinding, nail biting, obsessive thoughts, pain management, panic attacks, phobias, PTSD, quitting smoking, self-confidence, sleep difficulties, shyness, stress, thumb sucking and weight management. She also teaches assertiveness skills, conflict management, relaxation training and self-hypnosis.

Rachel provides training and supervision in Ericksonian hypnosis. She provides training for psychologists on how to set up, run, market and grow their professional practice. Rachel also provides individual and group supervision for provisional and fully-registered psychologists. Supervision for registered psychologists will conform to the forthcoming requirements for CPD and specialist title.

She is a registered psychologist and a recognised supervisor. She is a member of the Australian Psychological Society, the A.P.S. College of Organisational Psychologists and the A.P.S.
