Lauren Winney
Clinical Psychologist
I consider it a great privilege to bear witness to people’s stories, and to have the opportunity to walk alongside those who are going through a difficult time. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, where we reflect together about your difficulties, and work as a team to achieve your goals.
