About
Lauren Lynch is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AASW) based in Perth, Western Australia. She has a focused interest in eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, relationships and self-worth. As an Aboriginal and queer clinician she places importance on culturally safe and inclusive practice and welcomes First Nations and LGBTQIA+ clients.
Her work frequently addresses patterns such as overthinking, shame, self-criticism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, avoidance and disconnection from self. Lauren engages with adults and young adults who are exploring how long-standing coping strategies that once helped may now be limiting recovery, relationships or the life they want to build.
Lauren’s approach is warm, collaborative and practical. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT-E for eating disorders, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and trauma-informed practice to help clients understand unhelpful patterns, regulate intense emotions, improve communication, reduce avoidance, build self-compassion and reconnect with personal values. She also holds ANZAED training in eating disorder care and integrates that expertise into work on eating and body image concerns.

Online sessions and therapeutic approach
Lauren offers remote appointments using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options are used to maintain a collaborative, skills-focused process and to adapt sessions to what feels most accessible for each person.
She commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines links between thoughts, emotions and actions to find concrete ways to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Clients who prefer learning practical skills, clarifying what matters to them, and practicing new ways of coping often find this mix of approaches useful. Sessions online focus on collaborative goal-setting, skill practice and tailored strategies that fit the client’s day-to-day life while using video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging according to need.
