Lauren dedicates her practice to providing high-quality and confidential counselling sessions that are person-centred; using a range of evidence-based modalities to treat all different presentations. Lauren’s approach to therapy is tailored specifically to the client’s needs. This co-creation is between the client who is the expert in their own lives and experiences and the counsellor who is the expert in treatments. Lauren has extensive experience in helping clients manage anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, gender issues, grief/loss, relationship issues, meaning-making, and trauma. Lauren has a special interest in working with the LGBTQIA+ Community and identifies as Queer.

Lauren commonly uses the following modalities in her practice:
