Elders (65+) Counselling in Croydon, VIC

I enjoy working with people with a diverse range of clients, and have a particular interest in neurodiversity, complex trauma, and the intersection of the two.

Hi, my name is Laura! My focus in working with clients is to provide them with a space where they feel comfortable to open up about the issues they are experiencing. I take on a client-centred approach, meaning I will tailor treatment specific to each client's needs depending on their presentation. I have experience working with anxiety and mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma, substance use difficulties, work and school stressors, and interpersonal difficulties. I am fluent in both English and Spanish.

I recognize that seeking help can be a difficult step. You may have lived with emotional and personal difficulties for a long time. Alternatively, you may be navigating an important transition in work or personal relationships or change in your mental or physical health. My work focusses on assisting clients to understand the source of their distress or uncertainty and move toward a life that is more fulfilling. Using trauma informed practices, together we navigate challenging transitions, acknowledge grief and anxieties and make sense of patterns and choices. Together, we work toward making practical changes.

My goal as a clinical psychologist is to support those experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, particularly complex trauma related challenges. I help my clients make sense of these challenges by exploring underlying reasons and I offer logical, clear, and understandable ways to shift these mental health issues which is often met with great relief. I am passionate about adult mental health and I support those who have experienced challenging childhoods. I am warm and friendly and I work together as a team with my clients.
