About Laura
Their own words
Currently on Maternity Leave
Laura is a registered psychotherapist who has been working in children’s mental health for over 10
years at accredited children’s mental health centres and in private practice.
She supports families with children and teens who are struggling with issues like anxiety, sadness, feelings of anger, social struggles, attention and learning difficulties, family conflict, behaviour challenges at home and school, and parenting challenges and insecurities. She has specialized experience in supporting
mental health challenges related to learning disabilities and neurodiversity.
Laura explores how “big feelings” contribute to problems and challenging behaviors. She works with
children and teens to better understand their emotional experiences, tolerate their feelings, and use
coping strategies to regulate their emotions and behavior. Laura appreciates that it can be hard for
kids to engage in traditional therapies and she is playful and creative in adapting her strategy and
approach.
Laura recognizes that parents are a key factor in promoting children’s mental health. She knows how
intense, complicated, and emotionally vulnerable it is to be a parent. She approaches parenting with
compassion and without judgement. Laura works with parents to better understand their children’s
emotions and to respond in ways that promote coping and parent-child relationships. She supports
parents to explore their own experiences as parents and to manage their own stresses and triggers.
It’s her goal for parents to feel confident in their parenting approach and their relationship with their
child.
