Other Therapeutic Approaches
Other modalities Lauren draws on based on clients’ needs.
-
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)
A structured, evidence-based approach that helps clients understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the context of traumatic experience.
TF-CBT supports clients in challenging unhelpful beliefs formed as a result of trauma and developing healthier patterns of thinking and responding.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS understands the mind as made up of distinct parts, each with its own perspective, feelings, and role.
Many of these parts develop in response to trauma or difficult early experiences, taking on protective or coping functions that can become limiting in adult life.
IFS helps clients develop a compassionate relationship with all parts of themselves, facilitating deep and lasting healing.
-
Attachment-focused EMDR
An adaptation of standard EMDR that specifically targets the wounds created by early relational trauma: insecure attachment, neglect, emotional unavailability, or abuse by caregivers.
Particularly effective for adults whose trauma is rooted in early childhood relationships.
-
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, ‘Tapping’)
EFT combines elements of cognitive therapy, exposure, and acupressure, tapping on specific pressure points on the body while focusing on a distressing thought, feeling, or memory.
It works to calm the body's stress response and reduce the emotional charge associated with difficult experiences.
Research supports EFT's effectiveness for anxiety, trauma, and PTSD.
-
Mindfulness & Somatic Awareness
Trauma lives in the body as much as the mind.
Lauren incorporates mindfulness and somatic (body-based) awareness practices to help clients develop a kinder, more attuned relationship with their physical experience, building the capacity to tolerate and regulate difficult sensations and emotions.
-
Personal Coaching
Alongside her psychological practice, Lauren is a qualified Life Coach.
Coaching is available as a standalone service for clients who are not seeking clinical treatment, but who want structured support to clarify their goals, build confidence, and move forward.
Coaching sessions are not eligible for Medicare rebates.
