Meet Rachel ✨

Child + Youth Psychotherapist | Education Liaison

Rach supports children, adolescents and their families with evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy grounded in CBT. She helps young people build emotional regulation skills, practical coping strategies and long-term resilience.

With nearly 20 years in education, Rachel uniquely bridges the gap between mental health and the school system - working collaboratively with families, clinicians and schools to support wellbeing across home, classroom and therapy settings.

Rach also plays a key role in supporting families and educators following educational assessments or diagnoses, providing tailored, developmentally appropriate recommendations that translate insight into clear, practical action.

Compassionate. Practical. Developmentally informed. Always child-centred.

Call the clinic today to find out more around Rach’s role and engaging with her services: ☎️ 03 9068 3228

There’s been a lot happening around here lately - new faces, new roles, new systems - and we’re officially hitting our stride.

From the first phone call to the small behind-the-scenes details you’ll never see, Bridgitt, Summer and Kym are the new crew keeping everything steady, organised and running smoothly. Because great care starts long before the session begins 👨🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💻👩🏽‍💻

Fresh energy. Clear roles. Strong support. Good vibes 😎

Growth looks good on us 🌱 and we’re so excited for this next chapter 📖

We’re super excited to support and attend the Shaka Ball 2026 right here in Torquay at the beautiful in April 🌊

This event is about supporting the Shaka Project in igniting conversations around mental health and su***de prevention in our community and beyond.

We’re looking forward to bringing our team together for a special night to dress up, spend time with colleagues, and get behind an amazing initiative that aligns so closely with our values.

Every conversation matters.

With extreme heat forecast (up to 45°C) and fires continuing to impact our region, our thoughts are with our entire community today.

From a psychological and wellbeing perspective, these conditions can be incredibly stressful and unsettling. Please prioritise your safety: stay cool, follow emergency advice, and check in on those who may be more vulnerable, including older adults, children, and those with health concerns.

If you’re noticing increased anxiety, exhaustion, or feeling on edge, know this is a very normal response in these circumstances. Gentle self-care, staying connected, and limiting exposure to distressing news can help.

Given the current conditions, NO CANCELLATION FEES will be charged TODAY if you’re unable to attend your appointment due to these conditions. Your safety and wellbeing come first.

TELEHEALTH is also available if more accessible today.

Please take care, stay safe, and look out for one another.

Today, we reflect on what it means to be Australian 🇦🇺

At Surf Coast Mind Body Health, we are grateful for this country and proud to live and work on this land.

However, more importantly, we also recognise that for many people, Australia’s history is deeply painful and continues to impact communities today.

We believe that true pride in being Australian includes listening, learning, and acknowledging truth.

To celebrate our nation in a way that brings people together, we support rethinking the date, so that a celebration of Australia can be shared by all.

Togetherness means honouring history, holding space for discomfort, and choosing a future grounded in respect, healing, and unity. 🖤💛❤️

Always was. Always will be.

Thank you for sharing information and creating resources so that we can have these conversations.

✨ A New Face and A Stronger Support Structure at Surf Coast Mind Body Health ✨

We’ve been taking bets around Clinic this week whether the new stand up desk will be tall enough for our 2 meter tall new addition next week....

As our clinic has grows, so too has the care, coordination, and behind-the-scenes work that goes into supporting our clients, clinicians and community 🌊

We’re excited to introduce a new role to the Surf Coast Mind Body Health team - our new Operations Manager KYM JONES 👋🏻

This role exists to make sure the clinic runs smoothly, safely, and sustainably, from our systems and billing, to compliance and day-to-day operations. With this managed effectively, our clinicians can stay focused on what matters most: QUALITY CLIENT CARE.

Alongside bringing Kym on board, we will have a little Kansas City shuffle of our existing team and work within a clear three-part structure moving forward:

🧠 Clinical Lead / Director - Dr Caitlin Grace
📊 Operations Manager - Kym Jones
📞 Administration Lead - Caitlin Barrett

This structure allows us to keep clinical decisions clinically led, strengthen our systems behind the scenes and continue providing thoughtful, high-quality care to our community.

We’re really proud of this next step and grateful to our clients and clinicians for growing with us 🩵💙
