About Lauren
Lauren Lynch is an AASW-accredited social worker who supports adults and young adults struggling with anxiety, low mood, body image and eating concerns. She meets people where they are and helps them find practical ways to cope with shame, overthinking, people-pleasing and emotional overwhelm. Lauren works with people who notice old coping patterns are no longer helpful.
That might look like perfectionism, avoidance, disconnection from the body, or difficulty trusting oneself.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on reducing harmful patterns and reconnecting with values that matter to each person. Her style is warm, collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions often include tracking the patterns that keep someone stuck, learning emotion regulation skills, and practising small changes that build confidence over time.
She uses a blend of somatic ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive approaches to support change. Lauren has 15 years' experience in mental health and particular experience in eating disorder care. As an Aboriginal and queer clinician she aims to provide culturally safe, inclusive and affirming care.
She welcomes clients from diverse cultural and identity backgrounds. Work with Lauren tends to focus on everyday choices rather than labels. Conversations address relationships, identity, trauma, grief, parenting stresses, work pressures and the practical steps that help people feel more grounded.
The goal is a steadier life that lines up with what each person values.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Somatic-informed work brings attention to physical sensations and movement alongside talking. It helps people notice how stress and emotion live in the body and learn ways to regulate through breath, posture and gentle grounding practices. This approach can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses and disconnection from the body.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. It uses practical exercises to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful life, which helps with depression, anxiety and worries about identity or purpose.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections. It helps people understand how they relate to others, improve communication and develop more supported ways of relating when old patterns feel stuck.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions collaboratively. That means methods may shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options let people choose what fits their routine and comfort level, making it easier to keep momentum and practise skills between sessions. Working online can suit busy schedules, those living far from in-person services, or anyone who prefers a remote format while engaging in somatic, ACT and attachment-focused work.
