About Lauren
Lauren Clare is an AASW social worker with seven years of practice experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, communication problems, separation, and young adult issues.
Lauren uses practical, evidence-based ways of working. She focuses on helping people develop coping strategies and clear next steps. Sessions are collaborative and aim to break problems into manageable parts rather than rely on jargon or one-size-fits-all models.
Her background includes roles across child protection, family services, crisis support and counselling. That experience informs how she recognises safety concerns and supports people through sudden changes or relationship disruption. Lauren has worked with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and post-traumatic stress.
She draws on approaches such as motivational interviewing, trauma-informed practice, strengths-based work and solution-focused techniques. In practice this can look like setting small goals, building practical routines, and learning ways to manage overwhelming feelings.
Lauren aims to help people who feel stuck after major life transitions. That includes those finishing study, starting new jobs, navigating relationships, or adjusting to parenthood. She uses plain language and step-by-step planning so clients can try things between sessions and notice what helps.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Lauren uses evidence-based approaches in her work. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and set realistic goals; it is useful when someone is unsure how to start making changes. Trauma-informed practice focuses on understanding how past harm affects current feelings and behaviour and helps build pacing and safety into sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful, try methods together and adjust based on how clients respond. That means you will work with a therapist to pick techniques that match your goals and preferences rather than follow a fixed plan.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or caregiving routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let clients meet without being on camera, or use quieter audio-only meetings when that suits them better.
