About

Welcome, I'm Lauren

After practicing for four years, I received my own autism diagnosis in 2022. I took some time away from practice to process the assessment, identify my own ADHD patterns and realise the impact this new awareness had on everything.

​​

Before returning to practice I took further training in neurodiversity which helped transform my understanding of ND life and living. Since then, I have been working almost exclusively with neurospicy folk.

 

These days I travel with work, continue to find ways to grow as a creative being and practitioner, and look forward to meeting you in a space held for your own therapeutic journeying.

 

Wherever we may begin, I bring my warmth and humanity to hearing what it has meant for you to be human so far.

​

While my practice is neuro-inclusive, we may or may not speak a lot about neurodiversity. I will listen out for what is important to you as we settle into the space and find ways of working together, guided by your own unique experiences and desired therapeutic outcomes.

Empowered

My trauma-informed approach has roots in polyvagal theory, IFS, accessing regulation within the body and exploring your unique power centres.​

​

Bespoke to your needs, we will co-create ways of working towards your desired outcomes. We will work at your pace towards goals we can identify and agree together.

Safe & Supported

Being trauma-informed means working safely with you through difficult experiences with a steady and grounded approach.

​​
Internal Family Systems (IFS) allows clarity when working with inner conflicts, long-held traumas and parts of us that have struggled to find peace. Allowing space to hear from our inner intricacies can begin to bring ease and peace to ourselves as a whole.

Specialised Care

I offer psychoeducation to share insights into our neurology and how our nervous systems play a vital role in our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing​.

 

Co-creating tools for navigating the day to day can resource you with ways to help ground, manage overwhelm and rebuild your capacity for joy, rest and natural excitement again.

​​

Understanding how to support ourselves in neurodiverse living, can bring more ease and choicefulness; in time, unlimiting our sense of purpose and fulfilment.
