Counsellor Laura Abley uses her extensive experience in veteran mental health care to treat male and female sufferers of PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and phobias.
Who is suitable for services at Inner Sydney Counselling?
Traditional mental health treatment used to be reserved for people with mental illness. Today many people hunger to live better, feel better, do better, and it has luckily now become very common to access psychological treatment to access this ‘better life’.
All manner of presentations are suitable to work with Laura; from sufferers of low self esteem, or those with a ‘simple’ phobia that impacts their enjoyment of life, to people with complex and distressing experiences of trauma or abuse.
Laura’s approach
Laura is a Counsellor with extensive counselling and psychotherapy experience. Along with being a mental health social worker, which allows for cheaper mental health care through Medicare, Laura is an accredited EMDR practitioner.
Laura uses Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to treat anxiety and depression by working with, and healing, a client’s nervous system that has been impacted by early trauma or adverse experiences. This approach is shown to be more effective for healing and creating ongoing positive life benefits for her clients.
