I help couples and individuals re-discover their relationships and build stronger connections that bring joy and fulfilment. Instead of simply talking about issues you are dealing with, we will learn practical, effective communication tools that can transform your conversations and help you break through gridlocked issues. And if you feel disconnected from your partner, we will use research-based methods of strengthening your connection so that you can feel closer again.

I love working with teens and adults who are facing challenges in their lives that they may feel are insurmountable. They may be struggling with grief, identity, big transitions or general feelings of demotivation, depression and anxiety. They may be having problems communicating or setting boundaries in relationships and need someone to walk alongside them in finding ways to build healthier coping strategies, begin to notice the beauty in life or get their spark back.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable people who feel exhausted from holding everything together. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or the lasting impact of complex trauma. Many carry a quiet feeling of being “not enough” while also worrying they are “too much.” Some feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or disconnected from themselves. Others are navigating grief, life transitions, or hormonal challenges such as PMDD. They want to understand themselves more deeply, feel calmer in their nervous system, and build a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.

The essence of my therapy is in building solid, safe relationships collaboratively with my clients, catering to the unique needs of each person in a non-judgmental way. Rather than tell someone what they need, I prefer a merging of minds to make meaningful and sustainable differences. Together we explore resources to overcome adversity and suffering whilst learning to accept and adapt to the complicated facets of life where required. My therapeutic approach is also rooted in a deep exploration of early life experiences, with a focus on understanding and facilitating the healing of trauma or patterned behaviour.

My work is especially supportive for those who sense that their struggles are showing up not only emotionally, but also through the body

My name is Lauren and I am passionate about helping people connect with themselves more deeply. I have over 10 years experience working with trauma in private practice, as a researcher and with the Centre for Survivors of Torture and Trauma.

I work with individuals who feel something within them is asking to be heard—often showing up as anxiety, overwhelm, identity shifts, or disconnection. I support ADHD, autism, motherhood, trauma, and work with children (5+) and NDIS participants, including school-based sessions in primary and high school settings.
My person-centred, evidence-informed approach creates space to explore what’s beneath the surface, build emotional capacity, and move toward clarity, regulation, and self-trust.
If you’re feeling the weight of carrying it all alone, this is a space to slow down, be met fully, and begin finding your way forward.

Couples often come to me when they feel stuck in painful cycles of conflict, emotional disconnection, betrayal, or uncertainty about the future of their relationship. Some are considering separation, while others deeply wish to repair and strengthen their bond but no longer know how to reach one another. I work with couples from diverse cultural backgrounds who are seeking greater understanding, trust, intimacy, and emotional security. Together, we create a space where difficult conversations can occur safely and productively, allowing meaningful change to become possible.
