Hi, I’m Laura
And I didn’t come to this work by accident.
My approach
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you,because you’re not broken. It’s about holding a space where the heavy, the hidden, the messy, the joyful parts of you can all exist.
A space where you can notice, explore, and begin to understand the deeper layers of yourself.
In our work together, I draw on several modalities, including:
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Somatic Psychotherapy
Expressive approaches such as art and play therapy
I also lean on the wisdom of attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and polyvagal theory, always with your lived experience at the centre.
I know firsthand the power of being held and continue to do my own inner work and mentorship. The depth and care I continue to receive ripples through everything, and it shapes what I offer in our sessions.
What breathes life into my work
It’s my lived experience as a mother, the messy, beautiful, contradictory journey of my own matresence (mother becoming), as well as my own journey of healing through grief and anxiety that brings the depth and the heart to every session I hold.
That lived wisdom is strengthened by my professional training:
BA in Psychology
Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling
Over 10 years supporting families
Ongoing perinatal therapist mentorship
My training gives me the framework.
My motherhood journey gives me the soul.
Together, they shape the way I walk alongside you in your own seasons of change.
Beyond the therapy room
I’m a mum to two wild and wonderful boys and have an incredibly supportive partner.
I can’t keep my car tidy to save my life, but I can parallel park a mini bus like a pro. I’ve also got a strong competitive streak and have been described as a bit of a weapon on the touch football field.
My friends say I’m the kind of person you can talk to about anything, which turns out to be quite useful when you’re a therapist.
I find peace by the ocean, joy in small rituals (aka my morning chai), and I find there is something so magical about watching the full moon rise over the water.
Just like in life, I bring my warmth, humour, and compassion into our sessions together too.
Here’s where we start…
I’d be honoured to walk alongside you
