About

Hello, I’m Lauren.

I’m a generally registered psychologist based in Brisbane, working with adolescents and adults across Australia via telehealth. My style is warm, compassionate and positive.

My story

Experience across private practice and hospital care.

I’ve worked primarily in private practice, supporting people with a wide range of concerns. I’ve also worked as the sole psychologist in a hospital setting, focusing on pain management within a pain program, as well as subacute and rehabilitation care.

Alongside individual therapy, I’ve run group sessions. Across these settings, I’ve seen how closely physical health and emotional wellbeing are connected, and that understanding shapes how I work today.
