Dr Lauren Tober is an experienced Clinical Psychologist, Senior Yoga Teacher and mother of two. She is also the founder of the Centre for Mind Body Wellness and the Yoga Psychology Institute, the author of Mental Health Aware Yoga: A Guide for Yoga Teachers and hosts the A Grateful Life podcast. She has been working as a psychologist for over 20 years.
Lauren offers counselling for adults navigating:
- depression (including pre and postnatal)
- anxiety
- stress
- trauma
- overwhelm
- burnout
- periods of transition
- chronic illness
- high sensitivity
- peri-/menopause
In counselling sessions, Lauren aims to create a safe and inspiring space to explore what is going on for you.
Her focus is not just on helping you to overcome the difficulties that you are facing, but also to support you in living vibrantly, meaningfully and passionately. She believes in living a life that is authentic, compassionate, mindful, wholehearted and joyful, and she carries this through into her work.
She is also available for coaching and mentoring/supervision.
Lauren draws from a broad range of traditions and therapies, and her work is based in somatics, mindfulness and yoga. She has trained extensively in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, various somatic-based psychotherapies and yoga and meditation, and is a continual student of psychology and life (at present she is studying Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy).
Lauren sees her role as helping you find your way in overcoming obstacles and creating the kind of life you want to lead. She won’t tell you what to do or make your decisions for you. She will listen, non-judgementally and compassionately, and support you on your journey.
Sessions are available online from anywhere in the world and in-person at the Centre for Mind Body Wellness in Mullumbimby.
COST: $300 per 50 minute session.
A $50 deposit is required to book your session.
