Laura Storey, Counsellor

BPsych (Hons), Grad Cert Adol MH, MCouns

Laura has worked in the mental health field since 2011, working primarily with adolescents and young adults experiencing a breadth of mental and physical health challenges. Laura continues her work as an eating disorder practitioner at Eating Disorders QLD when not spending time at Therapy House. Laura holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), Postgraduate Degree in Adolescent Mental Health and a Masters of Counselling.

Laura approaches therapeutic work in a person-centred, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming way, incorporating elements of Developmental Psychology, Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, Feminist Frameworks, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Grief and Loss frameworks, including Dignity Therapy. Having worked with youth, parents, individuals living with chronic and terminal illness, and individuals experiencing grief, Laura recognises the value of flexibility, safety, trust and humour in the therapeutic relationship. By prioritising these she hopes to provide an ideal therapeutic environment for self-discovery, self-compassion and growth.

Trying to balance her core values of excitement and adventure with more restorative ones sees Laura spending her free time either travelling, enjoying live music, snowboarding, baking, reading or spending time with mates and family.
