Philosophy & Vision
Laura is an experienced practitioner having worked with adults and children in alternative health, educational and psychotherapeutic settings. Managing a wide range of mental health issues, the best way to describe her approach is relational because her focus is on the therapeutic relationship in the room between client and practitioner. Mindful of safety and respect, our conversation, which is open to anything and everything, can unfold.
Background
My background is in Holistic counselling, complementary healthcare, education, animal health and wellbeing and the fine arts. I have been engaged in the area of mental health and well being with an holistic approach for over 15 years as a naturopath, holistic counsellor, and teacher. With a diverse background and range of interests, my life experience has been one of my greatest teachers and assets.

Therapy Approach
The Conversational Model is a particular style of trauma informed relational psychotherapy which is informed by the understanding that our formative relationships with parents and or caregivers shape how we move and navigate in the world as adults.
The unpacking of this in our sessions develops a greater self awareness as well as a platform for allowing a sense of personal value and self worth to grow and evolve. Once this starts to happen, and it does take time, you will have a more solid foundation and self structure with which to interface with yourself and the world.
