Working With Laura

Therapy services

As a qualified psychologist with postgraduate qualifications in sexology, Laura is uniquely qualified to take a holistic approach when supporting people who have concerns related to sex, relationships and mental health. She can offer support for a range of difficulties including:

  • Trauma

  • Mood disorders

  • Issues of sexual functioning including desire, arousal, orgasm and pain

  • Relationships and sex, such as communication or mismatched desire

  • Sexual orientation and identity

  • Exploring kinks and fetishes

    Support in navigating non-traditional relationship structures, such as non-monogamy

In addition to ongoing therapy, Laura is also pleased to offer assessments for the purpose of accessing gender affirming healthcare, such as surgery. These assessments are conducted in line with WPATH guidelines and standards of care.

Sessions can be conducted via telehealth, or in person in her rooms located on Wadawurrung country in beautiful Geelong.

Coaching

Empower Hour

Ongoing therapy is not going to be suitable, or necessary, for every sex or relationship issue. You might have that one question or situation that you want to work through, with a professional, where you can get some practical advice, tools and resources.

A one-off coaching session could be perfect for you! An Empower Hour is a one hour video call with Laura where you can get coaching & advice on just about anything to do with sex, relationships, intimacy and pleasure. The kinds of topics that could be worked on include:

  • Communication techniques

  • Information about trying new sex acts, positions and toys

  • Strategies for exploring new relationship structures, kinks or fetishes

  • Mindfulness techniques to stay present and embodied

  • Strategies for managing negative self-talk that is interfering with your relationships or pleasure.

*Please note: these calls are not designed to replace therapy.

Healthcare providers

Laura is available to provide supervision or case consultation for healthcare providers in either a 1:1 or group setting. In addition she can facilitate workshops and training sessions on a range of topics related to the provision of high quality mental and health and sexual health.

Laura has worked directly with a range of medical and allied health providers and has provided her expert coaching, advice and training on a range of topics including:

  • Working with issues of sexual functioning, including pain and ageing

  • Issues of sexuality and trauma

  • Intimacy in relationships post-partum

  • Adolescents and sexual care
