Rachel Craig BSW, MSW, RSW
I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist providing individual therapy for adults in London, Ontario and virtually across Ontario.
Helping you move beyond the expectations, toward what matters most.
When your inner critic can finally relax, there’s room to live more authentically.
If anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, people-pleasing, or persistent self-doubt have been weighing on you, therapy can offer space to better understand what you’ve been carrying - and why. So often these struggles are the work of parts trying, in their own way, to keep you safe. Therapy with me is a place to slow down get curious, and better understand what is happening inside. Together, we’ll make space for the different thoughts, feelings, and protective patterns that show up, without judging them or forcing them to change.
Sometimes the parts of us that feel anxious, overwhelmed, self-critical, shut down, or stuck are trying to protect us in the best way they know how. Through our work together, we begin to understand these patterns with more compassion, it can become easier to feel less pulled in different directions and more connected to who you are and what matters to you.
A bit about me:
I’ve been a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist (OCSWSSW) since 2012. My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming. I’m trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) — a compassionate approach that makes room for the many parts of who we are. I work collaboratively, with respect for where you are now and where you’d like to go.
Our work together:
Everyone’s inner world is their own. We’ll get to know the parts of you that have been carrying the most, whatever they turn out to be, not to fix them, but to understand what they’ve been holding, meeting them with curiosity and care. Often, as these parts feel more understood, they tend to ease up, and the patterns that no longer serve you the way they once did begin to soften. You set the pace; I provide the structure, compassion, and honest reflection.
Therapy can be deep and meaningful without always feeling heavy. I aim to offer a space that is warm, respectful, and genuine, with room for the occasional laugh.
If you’re hoping to feel more at ease with yourself and move forward with greater clarity, I’m here to help. I offer in-person sessions in London, Ontario, and virtual or phone sessions across Ontario.
Ready to Take the First Step?
Finding the right fit matters more than rushing to begin. I offer a free 20-minute consult so you can ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and decide whether it feels like the right fit. No pressure, no commitment. If I’m not the right person, that’s okay too - I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction.
Everyone deserves a therapist who feels like the right fit.
