Rafaela Ugalde Kohler
Psychologist

Location: CBD Telehealth - Video Consultation

 

Rafaela supports people who appear to be coping well externally, yet feel exhausted, anxious, stuck, or disconnected internally—often after an extended period of pressure, transition, or loss. Many clients come to therapy when they’re juggling high expectations, caring responsibilities, career demands, or a major change (relocation, relationship shifts, parenthood, identity transitions). Rafaela offers therapy that is both emotionally supportive and practical, helping you feel steadier inside while building skills you can use in day-to-day life.

Alongside her clinical work, Rafaela brings a strong understanding of real-world workplace and life demands through her background in business leadership and people & culture, as well as her experience as a small business owner.

 

Rafaela uses evidence-based therapy tailored to the individual. She commonly draws on approaches such as CBT, Schema Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and integrates insight-oriented work where it supports deeper, lasting change.

In practice, this means therapy can involve: understanding patterns and emotional triggers; strengthening self-compassion and resilience; learning skills for stress, anxiety and boundaries; exploring identity, meaning, and values; making practical changes that align with the life you want.
