About
As a Counselling Psychologist, Lauren has a particular interest in relationships, communication and problems arising from attachment trauma. She uses a Relationally-Integrative EMDR approach, which is an integrative adaptation combining attachment-informed EMDR, parts work, somatic approaches, imagery rescripting (Schema Therapy), and relational focus.
Lauren is the Co-Founder of EMDR Byron Bay, which offers EMDR intensives for people experiencing phobias and single-incident trauma, as well as high-performance coaching.
