Laura is a clinical psychologist and board-approved supervisor. She has a friendly, down-to earth nature and feels privileged to be able to support people through the ebbs and flows of  life. Establishing a strong rapport with each client is integral, as is creating a safe space  where they feel they can freely share and explore their psychological concerns.  

Laura has experience assisting clients with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression,  grief and loss, anger, stress, low self-esteem and communication issues. Her special interest  areas, though, include the following:  

•  Pain management (pelvic, muscular, neurological, etc.)
•  Women’s health
•  Living with a chronic illness
•  Coping during treatment for a health condition
•  Adjustment to a new diagnosis
•  Assistance with recovery from illness/injury
•  Helping clients with a disability cope with their physical health issues
•  Adjustment to life transitions

Laura has chosen to build her skills and expertise in these areas because she is passionate  about the mind-body connection. She has also worked in a number of major public hospitals  and assisted patients with a permanent disability, as well as those with physical health  concerns, such as:  

•  chronic pain,
•  gynaecological issues,
•  cancer,
•  respiratory difficulties, and
•  neurological conditions (including brain injuries).

Laura primarily sees clients over 18, however will consider taking on children and  adolescents if the main presenting issue is health-related. These referrals will be assessed  on a case by case basis. She is also able to provide supervision to both provisional and  registered psychologists.  

Having completed both a Masters in Clinical Psychology and a Masters in Counselling, Laura  is able to integrate a wide range of therapeutic approaches. This ensures that the support  provided is client-centred and tailored to their individual needs.
