Laurina believes that we can change unwanted patterns of behaviour by deepening our awareness through exploration of the relationship we have with ourselves, others, and our environment. This promotes a greater sense of agency within self, thus creating greater possibilities and conscious choice for the individual.

"Therapy can be for everyone and there is no issue too great or too small. There is always potential for growth and learning at any stage in our lives. The processing of emotional suffering in therapy can often lead to a greater sense of inner peace and healing"

Lauina has further interests in working with clients to overcome performance anxiety and creative blocks. She has a Diploma in Performing Arts where she developed an appreciation of people’s sensitivities around performance and creativity.

Laurina provides face to face counselling along with Telehealth and Zoom appointments.
