Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, my preferred name is Lara. I am an accredited social worker based in Melbourne, with a Master of Social Work. I have experience supporting individuals through challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions.
My focus is working collaboratively with you in a confidential and safe manner. Together, we will create a personalized plan tailored specifically to your unique situation and goals. I’ll provide guidance and support, while we work together to achieve your therapeutic goals. Reaching out for support is a brave first step toward a more joyful life, and I am here to guide and empower you throughout this process.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based methods which provide a deep therapeutic experience, while focusing on strengths and goals. Therapeutic approaches include counselling, ego state (parts) therapy, somatic experiencing, clinical hypnotherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT).

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One key advantage is flexibility – you can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine.
Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and if you feel a different fit would be better, you may switch therapists at any time.
