Overview

Laura creates an authentic space where people feel safe to be themselves. She develops genuine connections with clients based on mutual trust and humour to ensure sessions are both impactful and meaningful. Her approach to mental health care is collaborative, sex-positive, and gender-affirming. Grounded in attachment theory, she helps clients explore how early relationships and experiences shape us—while emphasising that these experiences don’t have to define us. Laura explores the connection between mental and sexual health. Supporting individuals navigating challenges including anxiety, attachment and sexual trauma, sexual pain, intimacy, and relationship difficulties (e.g., managing conflict, trust issues, differences in libido and relationship breakdowns), and those wanting to explore their gender and sexual identity. In her free time, Laura enjoys pottery, painting, or exploring markets and art scenes around Melbourne.
