Rachael Cruickshanks trained in the UK as a clinical counsellor and is now completing her Master of Counselling at Adler University, with expected completion in December 2026. She feels it’s a genuine privilege to sit with people during some of their most raw and honest moments. When clients come to a session, she hopes they can set down the masks they wear in daily life and simply be themselves. Above all, Rachael wants her clients to feel seen and respected as they share their story.

Modalities: Adlerian therapy, CBT, Person-Centred, Solution-Focused Therapy

Specialty: 2SLGBTQIA+ counselling, Identity issues, anxiety, depression, shame

Informed by Adlerian concepts, my approach to counselling is centred on exploring how we experience ourselves in relation to the world around us. I place great value on the therapeutic relationship itself, aiming to create an environment marked by safety, mutual respect, and collaboration, encouraging you to be the expert of your own life.

As a queer, Trinidadian, woman of colour, I bring with me an appreciation for intersectionality and diversity through lived experience. My practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive, social justice-informed lens, recognizing that systems and structures of power and marginalization shape our struggles and our lives. In this light, I am committed to understanding you, the individual, within your broader context.
