Our Practitioner
Laura Ballin is a compassionate, dedicated counsellor with a rich background in education and a passion for supporting others. She spent seven years as a primary school teacher, fostering growth, curiosity, and confidence in children and families. This experience shaped her deep appreciation for patience, empathy, and truly listening — qualities she brings to her counselling practice.
A lifelong learner, Laura values self-reflection, personal growth, and continually expanding her knowledge and skills. She holds a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and is currently completing her Master of Counselling, ensuring her approach is informed by best practices and trauma-aware care.
As a mum of three, Laura understands the complexities of life’s challenges. She takes a person-centred, gentle approach, creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate their own journey toward wellbeing.
