Root-Cause Therapy, or RCT, is an approach that looks beyond the thoughts and experiences you are consciously aware of.While traditional talk therapy often focuses on your present thoughts, feelings and memories, RCT explores deeper layers of the subconscious to uncover emotional wounds, beliefs and patterns that may be influencing how you feel and respond today.The intention is to understand where a pattern began, work with what is still unresolved and help you move forward with greater clarity and freedom.Is RCT the same as traditional talk therapy?No. RCT takes a different approach.Rather than spending sessions primarily talking through current circumstances, RCT seeks to explore the deeper origins of emotional, psychological and behavioural patterns. It can be particularly helpful when you understand something logically but still find yourself feeling or responding in the same way.

You don't need to work this out on your own.The free 20-minute consultation is a relaxed opportunity to talk about what you're experiencing, what you'd like to change and which approach may be the most appropriate for you. Rachael can explain the different services and help you decide where it feels right to begin.

No. You can book a single session if you would like to begin with one appointment.For those who would like ongoing support, three and six-session packages are also available. Packages offer a more cost-effective way to continue your journey and give you the flexibility to work through different areas over multiple sessions.

Rachael uses a gentle, regression-based approach that explores the deeper experiences, emotions and beliefs that may be connected to what you're experiencing today.Rather than simply managing a recurring pattern, the work looks at where it may have originated and what may be keeping it in place.The process is gentle, collaborative and always guided at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

You don't have to relive anything in graphic detail. The process is gentle and guided, and you remain in control of what you share and how far you go.The intention isn't to repeatedly revisit painful experiences. It's to understand what may still be affecting you and create an opportunity for something to shift.

That's completely okay. You don't need a perfect memory or a detailed timeline of your past.The process works with what is relevant and accessible to you in the present.

No. There is no need to go through everything that has ever happened to you.The focus is on what is relevant to the reason you've come to counselling and what you'd like to change.

Talking is part of the process, but the intention is to go a little deeper than simply discussing what is happening.Together, you'll explore the emotions, beliefs, experiences and patterns that may sit underneath what you're experiencing now.

Everyone comes to counselling for different reasons, and you don't have to fit neatly into one category.Dragonfly Blue Holistic can support you with areas such as:Anxiety and overwhelmLow self-worth and confidencePeople-pleasing and difficulty setting boundariesBurnout and emotional exhaustionRepeating relationship patternsGrief and lossChildhood and past experiencesSelf-sabotage and unhelpful patternsAddictive or avoidant behavioursEmotional regulationLife transitions and major changesFeeling stuck or disconnected from yourselfUnderstanding recurring thoughts, feelings or behavioursSometimes several of these things overlap. Sometimes you simply know that you don't feel like yourself anymore.

That's absolutely fine.You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. You can talk about what you've been noticing, how you've been feeling or what you'd like to be different.Together, you can begin to explore what might be underneath it.

Yes. Relationships can bring many different patterns to the surface.Sessions may explore boundaries, people-pleasing, communication, emotional availability, attachment, repeating relationship dynamics or difficulties trusting and connecting with others.

Yes. Feelings of not being good enough, self-doubt and constantly second-guessing yourself can be deeply rooted.Counselling can provide a space to explore where these beliefs may have come from and develop a kinder, more grounded relationship with yourself.

Absolutely. You don't have to wait until you're completely overwhelmed before reaching out.Counselling can help you understand what may be contributing to your exhaustion, recognise patterns that keep you overextending yourself and create space for change.

Yes. Grief can take many forms and doesn't always follow a predictable timeline.Whether your loss is recent or something you've carried for years, you are welcome to bring it into the space. There is no "right" way to grieve.

Absolutely. Dragonfly Blue Holistic is a welcoming, inclusive space for men, women and people of all genders and backgrounds.Your experiences, emotions and story are what matter here. You don't need to fit into a particular box or be a certain type of person to feel comfortable reaching out.Whether you're navigating relationships, anxiety, grief, self-worth, burnout, major life changes or something you can't quite put into words yet, you are welcome here.

Of course. You don't need to know how counselling works or what you're supposed to say.You can simply arrive as you are. Rachael will guide you through the process, answer your questions and give you the space to talk at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

That's completely understandable. Talking about personal things with someone new can feel daunting.There is no expectation that you have to share everything straight away. Building trust takes time, and the sessions are designed to give you space to feel comfortable, heard and supported.

Holistic counselling looks at you as a whole person, rather than focusing only on the problem or symptom that brought you in.The way we think, feel, behave and connect with others can all be shaped by our experiences, relationships and the ways we have learned to navigate the world. Sometimes, the things we struggle with today have deeper roots than we realise.Dragonfly Blue Holistic creates a safe, supportive space to explore those deeper patterns, understand yourself with greater compassion and work towards meaningful change.

Holistic simply means looking at the bigger picture. Rather than treating one feeling or behaviour in isolation, the focus is on understanding how different parts of your life and experiences connect.You are more than the thing you're struggling with, and there is often more to the story than what is happening on the surface.

Not at all.Trauma is one area that may be explored, but counselling can support you through many different experiences and stages of life. You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, grief, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, life changes or simply feeling stuck.You don't need a label or a diagnosis to ask for support. You can come simply because something doesn't feel right and you'd like to understand why.
