About Mary
Hi, my name is Mary Raschella and I am a registered Counsellor, Systemic Family Therapist and Educator.
I work with individuals, couples, parents and families and believe everyone’s unique challenge and story deserves to be shared in a non-judgmental and calm space.
My approach is collaborative, working with you to understand the problem and relationship patterns that keep you stuck, opening up ways forward towards a healthier and more positive life.
The Difference to Lasting Change
My Approach
We offer an integrated, Systemic Family Practice addressing both personal change and your part in relationships.
Systemic Family Therapy is not just for families, we can work with individuals, couples, parenting or we can include other members of the family. We work systemically to shift patterns that keep us stuck, while also working on what is in your awareness and in control by integrating practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment Science and Poly-vagal theory.
Systemic Family Therapy is in essence all about relationships. We believe relationships are the cornerstone to our well-being, growth and resilience and that one person’s behaviour affects everyone else, so lasting change requires shifting patterns to healthier ways of relating.
