👋 Meet the Team – Introducing Psychologist Rachel Tallent!

Rachel is one of our clinical psychologist here at Ballarat Psychology Clinic, Get to know her below:

🥇 Fun Fact That Might Surprise you:
Rachel isn’t just passionate about helping people — she’s also an Olympian! 🇦🇺👟 In 2016, Rachel represented Australia at the Rio Olympic Games in the 20km walk. Even more special? She shared the experience with her older brother Jared, who competed in the 50km walk and brought home a silver medal! Their parents proudly followed them around the globe wearing T-shirts that read “Here for the Tallent” — and we can’t get over how wholesome that is. 💛

⚡ What Inspired Rachel to Become a Psychologist?
Through her years in elite sport, Rachel saw firsthand how mental health directly impacts performance, confidence, and overall wellbeing. Whether it was the pressure to perform, the stress of competition, or the inner struggles that come with big goals, she realised the mind can be our greatest asset — or our biggest barrier. That experience led her to psychology, where she now helps others overcome mental hurdles and thrive in whatever arena they’re in.

🧠 Rachel’s Approach to Therapy:
One of Rachel’s go-to approaches is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). What she loves about ACT is how it empowers people to acknowledge and accept the difficult thoughts and feelings that are part of life — rather than fighting against them. Instead of avoiding discomfort, ACT encourages us to lean into what really matters make room for challenges, and take action that aligns with our values. It’s a powerful framework for creating a life with purpose, even when things feel messy or hard.

✨ Rachel brings a unique combination of lived experience, clinical expertise, and genuine compassion to her work — and we’re incredibly lucky to have her on our team.

✨ Introducing: Flip the Script Fridays ✨

Every Friday, we’ll gently challenge the unhelpful beliefs that hold us back and rewrite them with care, compassion, and truth. 💙🖊

Whether it’s “I’m not good enough” or “I have to do it all on my own,” these quiet thoughts can shape how we see ourselves and the world.

But here’s the good news:

You can learn to flip the script. 🔁📜

With evidence-based tools from CBT and a whole lot of kindness, we’ll reframe those beliefs—together.

🌱 Follow along each week as we swap self-doubt for self-trust, pressure for progress, and fear for freedom.
