Hi, I'm Lauren. I offer services to both children and adults- counselling and adult Autism assessment. I have a background working in private practice, and educational and forensic settings. I provide support for a broad range of issues such as reduced self-esteem, stress, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, depression, separation, emotional regulation, parenting and healing from childhood relational wounds. I often work with neurodivergent clients (ie. Autism/Aspergers and ADHD). Feel free to ask if I work with any other areas that I haven't mentioned.
I like to provide therapy that's strength based, that supports the process of discovery and understanding. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and trauma informed. Therapies I draw on are CBT, ACT, EFT (individuals only), Motivational Interviewing and EMDR. I am a member of the EMDRAA.
If you feel that I may be able to assist you with any of the issues mentioned above or would like to discuss if I can help with any other challenges not mentioned, then please don't hesitate to reach out. Best wishes.
