Hi, I'm Laura

I'm a registered counsellor with a private practice in Wellington City, offering in-person and online sessions across Aotearoa. I work with adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, and life transitions. With a particular passion for supporting women with high functioning anxiety and those carrying big responsibilities at work, at home, or both.

 

Much of my work explores the patterns we inherit growing up. The unspoken rules about worth and responsibility that can shape how we move through the world.

 

My approach is collaborative, client-led, and drawn from ACT, Narrative Therapy, and client-centred practice. I hold a provisional registration with NZAC and have a Bachelor's in Counselling and Addictions Practice. 

All genders, LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse and sex workers are welcome. 

Counselling area I work with:

  • Anxiety
  • Emotional Resilience
  • Self-Worth and Identity
  • Stress management
  • Relationships
  • Burnout and Overachievement
  • Workplace challenges
  • Sex and sexuality
  • Guilt/Shame
  • Trauma
  • Self-esteem/self-image
  • Life changes
