Who's behind Connecting You Psychology?

I’m Lara, a dedicated psychologist with a passion for helping individuals overcome challenges and discover their true potential. With over 15 years of experience with working alongside individuals with disabilities, mental health disorders and complex trauma. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, supportive space where healing and personal growth can flourish.


I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and have worked with a diverse range of clients, each with unique backgrounds and stories. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I believe in tailoring treatment to meet the specific needs of every individual.


What drives me most is seeing the positive change in my clients' lives. I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey, helping you build resilience, gain clarity, and create a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful.

Our Insights

Appointments

Initial consultation

1 hr   30 mins   |    From $230

Our first appointment will be longer to allow for a deeper understanding of your needs, a thorough assessment, and the opportunity to explore any immediate concerns. During this session, we will also work together to establish goals and expectations. This more comprehensive and individualised approach enhances the quality of care and ensures that both of us have a clear understanding of the therapeutic path ahead.

Medicare

1 hr      |    From $230


A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) is a referral pathway designed to help individuals access psychological support. 

It starts with a visit to your General Practitioner (GP), who will assess your mental health, discuss your concerns, and develop a personalised plan. This plan outlines your treatment goals and allows you to receive a certain number of subsidised therapy sessions with a psychologist. 


*You will be provided a medicare rebate of approximately $96.62*

NDIS

1 hr      |    From $230

Please note that at the moment we can only service self-managed or plan managed clients.

Private Client

Workers Compensation

To attend sessions under WorkCover, you’ll need a GP referral, the date(s) of your workplace incident(s), your WorkCover case manager’s details, and your insurer’s name and claim number. At your first session, we will discuss your concerns and goals, then prepare a treatment plan for insurer approval. Once approved, you can continue sessions at no cost to you, as fees are covered by your employer’s insurance company.
