Laura is passionate about helping people better understand themselves and their life experiences. She takes a relational approach to therapy and sees the therapeutic relationship as an important part of the healing process. Laura brings warmth and curiosity into the room, creating a safe and steady space where you can feel understood, supported, and accepted as you make sense of your experiences.

Laura has a particular interest in working with people who have experienced trauma at any stage of their lives. She enjoys helping people understand how their past experiences continue to shape the way they see themselves, relate to others, and move through the world. Laura is especially interested in exploring how developmental trauma can influence our capacity to form safe, secure, and trusting relationships, and how it may present as self-criticism, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries or prioritising their own needs.

Laura has supported people across a range of clinical settings, including public hospitals, emergency services, family violence services, and government sectors. Through this work, she has developed an understanding of the diverse ways trauma can affect people's lives. She has particular experience supporting first responders and understands the unique impact of cumulative trauma, critical incidents, moral injury, burnout, and the challenges of balancing emergency service work with family life.

Beyond Flux, Laura works as a clinical psychologist in public health, supporting adults and older adults across a range of physical and mental health presentations. Her work has given her extensive experience supporting people adapting to significant changes in their health, identity, and independence, including people living with chronic pain or neurological conditions, as well as those navigating grief, loss, and the emotional impact of illness and major life transitions.

Outside of her role as a psychologist, Laura enjoys going for a dip in the ocean, discovering new music, and spending time with her rescue dog. She values a balance of adventure and the quieter moments that bring a sense of grounding and connection. Sharing life with a rescue dog has shown her that some of the most meaningful relationships are built slowly, through patience, consistency and a sense of safety - something she values deeply in both life and therapy.
