About

Laura is a Medicare-registered clinical psychologist with over 10 years’ experience supporting children, young people, adults, and families. She has worked across youth mental health, disability, education, child protection, and community settings, and brings a compassionate, person-centred approach to therapy.

Laura has a particular interest in supporting people to heal from the effects of trauma and difficult life experiences. She draws on evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, schema therapy, DBT, CBT, and attachment-based therapies, while also incorporating creative and somatic techniques to support healing.

In addition to trauma work, Laura supports people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, and other mental health concerns. Her approach is grounded in warmth and collaboration, helping clients feel supported as they work toward meaningful change.
