Lauren Salajan is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Belmont, VIC. Lauren works from Shop 1, 57 Thomson Street, Belmont VIC 3216. Sessions are for people who want clear support for what is happening in their mind and day-to-day life. Sometimes things build up slowly, and at other times it can hit all at once. Either way, Lauren helps you slow it down and work out practical next steps.
Counselling sessions are the heart of the work. Lauren also offers behavioural therapy and structured anxiety management, including stress management techniques. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of worrying thoughts, feeling overwhelmed, or just finding it hard to switch off, that’s common. In many cases, therapy focuses on understanding what’s driving the stress and then making changes that actually fit your routines and responsibilities.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a big part of Lauren’s approach. CBT is often used for anxiety and for coping with tough emotions. It can help you spot patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build skills for when things feel too much. The goal isn’t to “think positive” all the time. It’s more about learning better tools, so you can handle difficult moments with more control and less strain.
People come to see Lauren for a range of concerns, including anxiety, ongoing stress, and feeling stuck in behaviour that doesn’t help in the long run. Therapy can also be useful when sleep is affected, concentration drops, or relationships start to feel strained because your stress level is high. Over time, many people find it easier to pause, notice what is going on, and choose how to respond instead of just reacting.
Lauren provides a calm, grounded space for therapy in Belmont. Sessions suit those who want a steady place to talk, and for those who prefer a more skills-based plan. If you’re not sure what type of support you need, starting with a counselling session is a good first step. From there, Lauren can help shape a plan that matches your concerns, your pace, and what you want to improve.
