Discover Rachael’s Approach

Meet Rachael Pasemko

With over 20 years of experience supporting children, families, and fellow therapists, Rachael brings a rare blend of deep clinical wisdom, a humble presence, and warm attunement. Based in British Columbia, she is recognized for her ability to hold complexity, communicate using the right hemisphere, and guide child clients through trauma with a presence that feels both safe and deeply knowledgeable.

Her work is rooted in classic play therapy, neuroscience, and relational trauma. What sets Rachael’s practice apart is her ability to feel what a child cannot yet say and to trust the body’s wisdom where words fall short.

Rachael also incorporates the practical yet mystical system of Human Design in coaching sessions, offering validation, a life permission slip, and the clarity needed for others to live more in alignment and with authenticity.

She holds a Bachelor of Social Work, a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, and advanced training in Expressive Play Therapy and Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy. She studied Synergetic Play Therapy to the Supervisory level and is part of the facilitation team for Bringing the Body into Practice, a program focused on teaching Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy. Most recently, she completed a Human Design Coaching Certificate Program with Erin Claire Jones at The Humane Design Blueprint.

From her early days in Kamloops social services to founding and leading a successful group therapy practice, Rachael has always followed one truth: healing isn’t something you can force or find. It is something you invite, hold space for, and witness.

She has spent years helping children use symbols, metaphor, and play to process what they cannot yet articulate, and guiding other therapists to do the same—with greater clarity, trust, and embodiment.

This isn’t just her career. It’s her calling.
