I understand that seeking therapy can be both comforting and daunting, but it can also be liberating and I commend individuals who reach out for help. Our pain can often be a message that there is something amiss in our lives, and I believe it is important that we listen to that message. Whether you are dealing with a difficult time in your life and need help managing the emotions and thoughts, I aim to assist individuals to better understand the relationship between their feelings and thoughts and explore ways to change maladaptive patterns.

My aim is to provide a professional, but warm, confidential non-judgemental, caring, safe environment where you and I can explore your difficulties together. I place a lot of emphasis on our relationship, with us getting to know each-other and working collaboratively to improve your wellbeing.

“We often find that the harder we try to get rid of emotions and thoughts, the stronger they become.” Hi, I’m Lauren. As an experienced counsellor, I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients on their therapeutic journey where every client is unique and there is a new opportunity for learning and growth. When you say "a part of me feels this….

I won't promise you a magic pill that takes away your worries overnight. But here's what I can promise: I'll do my best to understand what it's like to be you. I'll stand by you.

Have you ever felt that words alone don’t fully capture what you’re experiencing—especially when emotions feel tangled, overwhelming, or stuck in familiar patterns? I support young people and adults who sense there’s more beneath the surface and want a gentle, thoughtful way to understand themselves more deeply. I offer a calm, supportive, and creative space where we can explore at your own pace. My integrative, compassionate approach may include working with images, objects, or words to connect with your inner world, gain insight, and move toward meaningful change. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.

I have a special interest and experience in supporting people who are going through fertility treatment, and helping people with birth trauma, and postpartum body confidence - helping you to tell your story - what happened to you?
Are you weighed down by anxiety or depression? Perhaps you are going through fertility treatment and you feel an overwhelming mix of emotions - including hope and fear - and you're holding it all together - lots of spinning plates - it feels too much to carry at times. Have you given birth and the birth was difficult and you know that you need to process what happened to you, but at the same time you push the memory away so that you can get through the day - perhaps your body is different, now, since you gave birth? Perhaps you have scars, stretch marks, loose skin, a prolapse? Are you feeling lost and unsure of who you are?

Do you ever wonder why, despite everything going well in your life (e.g. you're in a good relationship, a successful job), something feels off? I specialise in helping people with anxiety who are highly self-critical. Often, my clients describe themselves as intellectualisers, perfectionists and/or people pleasers. You struggle to let go of control, to sit with your feelings, and set boundaries with people, but no one else would know because all your energy goes towards doing everything right. This happens when we learned to avoid our emotions like the plague, and before you know it, your life is all about doing and achieving.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
