Laura Brophy

With a Master of Psychology (Clinical), and extensive experience working in both public and private health settings, I am specialised in treating various mental health issues. My therapeutic sensibility is continually developing and deepening - I have training and experience in cognitive-behavioural frameworks (CBT and ACT), in addition to relational, gestalt and person-centred modalities. I believe in healing through presence, understanding and compassion. Together we will work collaboratively to examine and understand your difficulties – so that we can begin to learn more about who you are, what you do, and how you do it. I am committed to an attitude of receptivity and authenticity – allowing myself to be taken and impacted by what emerges in a session and over the course of our process – so that we might find something new together in the here and now.
