Beyond victim.
Beyond villain.
Infidelity is a traumatic human experience
— and there is a way through.
Rachel voysey
As a child, Rachel used to hide under dinner tables at parties, not to be mischievous, but because she couldn't get enough of how adults talked, connected, argued, and laughed. That fascination never left. It took her to study psychology at the University of Sydney, and eventually into the therapy room, where she's spent 15 years as a Relationship Expert.
She's been fascinated by what makes us human her whole life.
Rachel has worked with hundreds of couples and individuals navigating one of life's most destabilising experiences: betrayal.
Her own upbringing gave her an early window into this world. She grew up watching a mother who needed deep connection and a father who couldn't give it. She understood, even then, that the story was more complicated than it looked from the outside.
Rachel believes infidelity or betrayal is the only trauma people are expected carry alone, hidden behind shame, stigma, and the weight of judgement.
In reality, the numbers are far higher than reported. Both the betrayed or the person who betrayed often suffer deeply, in silence, with nowhere to turn.
"If your mother died, people would bring you lasagna.
But if your partner cheated, you tell almost no one."
Rachel's work is built on a different foundation: recognising infidelity as a traumatic human experience. Removing the "perpetrator vs victim" model and creating space for something more honest, and more useful. Sometimes that means rebuilding. Sometimes it means separating with clarity and dignity. Both can be acts of healing.
When couples walk into Rachel's office, she isn't thinking about right or wrong. She's thinking: here are two humans in a complex situation, let’s work out what's actually going on, so they can heal.
