As a registered psychologist with over 15 years of experience, Lauren Beatty has supported individuals, couples, and families across both public and private settings. She works with adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns and has a particular passion for perinatal and infant mental health, fertility, and parenting support.

Lauren provides individual therapy for people at all stages of the journey to parenthood, including those considering whether to have a baby, navigating fertility challenges and IVF, managing worries during pregnancy, and adjusting to life as a new parent. She supports mothers and fathers experiencing antenatal or postnatal anxiety and depression, difficulties bonding with their baby, stress, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and the emotional and identity changes that often accompany parenthood.

Her areas of interest also include supporting parents who wish to parent differently from how they were raised, navigating toddler and child behaviour concerns, returning to paid work after parental leave, and managing self-doubt, low self-esteem, confidence difficulties, worry, and isolation.

With a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative approach, Lauren is passionate about helping clients engage meaningfully in their relationships and what matters most to them. She works from a developmental and relational lens, drawing on attachment theory, and evidence-based interventions. Lauren offers both short and long-term therapy, tailored to individual needs.

Babies are always welcome in sessions.
