Hi, I'm Lara - I'm so glad you found me

Imagine the potential of your life if you could learn to enjoy being the best version of you.

 

I’m a psychologist and licensed cognitive hypnotherapist with a passion for helping people connect with their inner resources.

 

I work with online therapy clients to free them from fears and self-doubt and release them from emotional burdens.

 

From relationship breakdowns and relocations to everyday anxiety, stress management and limiting beliefs that hold you back, I’m here to teach you the tools to help you become the best version of yourself.

Online Therapy Services

I don’t believe in labels – there are no two cases exactly the same. That’s why, though I work across many areas and treat many different conditions, I prepare a tailored therapeutic plan for each client based on them as a person. Here are just some of the conditions I can help with.

ABOUT

What is Cognitive Hypnotherapy?

Everything we know—our past, present, and future—is a story we tell ourselves. The power lies in how we choose to write it. And if we can rewrite our story, we can change our lives.

 

Cognitive Hypnotherapy helps us flip the script, challenging the thoughts that no longer serve us and creating permanent change to positive, useful thoughts.

 

Tapping into your inner strengths and resources, we work together to create the best version of you.

“I loved our sessions. They really helped me to stop spiralling.”

Tailored for expats

Therapy for Expats

Moving abroad is a great adventure – whether you’re moving for work, love or a fresh start.

 

But so often, we overlook the many emotional obstacles that occur when we move away from home. 

 

From guilt about leaving family to struggling to establish our identity in a new place, expat life can be hard. 

 

But, therapy can help.

 

Talk to someone who gets it.
