When life changes—or when you're ready for it to.
Sometimes life changes us in ways we never expected. Sometimes we're the ones seeking change, wanting to understand ourselves more deeply or finally address patterns that have been holding us back.
Whether you're navigating the impact of trauma, a major life transition, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, or exploring neurodivergence such as ADHD or autism, therapy can provide a space to make sense of your experiences and reconnect with what matters most to you.
As a registered psychologist based in Mt Evelyn, in the Yarra Valley, I provide a warm, thoughtful, and evidence-based approach to therapy and assessment for adults. My aim is to create a calm, collaborative space where you can better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and move towards a life that feels more meaningful, authentic, and fulfilling.
I also offer comprehensive ADHD and Autism assessments for adults seeking greater clarity about their experiences, strengths, and challenges. Appointments are available in person in Mt Evelyn or via telehealth across Victoria.
Psychologist, Laura Larkin
Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unlike ourselves. Sometimes that's because of a specific event. Sometimes it's the result of experiences that have built up over time. And sometimes it's simply the feeling that life isn't working the way it once did.
Whatever has brought you here, therapy offers an opportunity to better understand your experiences, develop new ways of responding, and reconnect with the life you want to lead.
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including:
When life feels overwhelming
Anxiety, panic, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Depression and low mood
Stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion
When past experiences continue to affect the present
Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
Difficult childhood experiences
Grief and loss
When life is changing
Relationship difficulties or separation
Parenting and family challenges
Pregnancy, birth trauma, and adjustment to parenthood
Workplace stress, conflict, or career changes
Chronic illness, persistent pain, and adjusting to health changes
When you're wanting to understand yourself more deeply
Adult ADHD and autism assessments
Exploring long-standing patterns, identity, and emotional wellbeing
Feeling disconnected from yourself or uncertain about the next chapter
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based therapies. Together, we'll work to understand what's contributing to your difficulties, build on your strengths, and help you move towards a life that feels more meaningful, authentic, and aligned with what matters to you.
