Laura Kemppainen is a Counselling Psychologist and Psychologist based in Fitzroy, Melbourne. You can find her at Level 1, 411 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065. Sessions are available for people who want a calm, practical space to talk things through and work out what helps next.
Laura looks after a wide range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. Many people come in because they feel overwhelmed by stress, stuck in anxious thoughts, or worn out from carrying too much. Others seek support after big life changes, relationship strain, or family conflict that’s starting to affect day-to-day life.
In many cases, it’s not just one thing. Work, sleep, mood, and even home routines can all get tangled together. Laura helps people slow down, spot patterns, and build skills they can actually use outside the clinic. That might include learning simple stress management techniques, ways to handle pressure, and strategies for feeling more steady when things get hard.
Appointments can be for individuals, couples, or families. Individual therapy sessions suit when you want to focus on your own goals, emotions, and coping. Couples therapy sessions can help when communication has broken down, conflict keeps repeating, or one or both people feel disconnected. Family therapy sessions can be useful too, especially when relationships at home are under strain and everyone needs a clearer way to work together.
Laura also provides mental health assessments when they’re needed. These can be a good starting point when you’re not sure what’s going on, or when you want a clearer view of your symptoms and supports.
Laura’s training sits within psychology, including counselling psychology, so the way sessions are run is grounded and supportive. Over time, she has worked with people facing real-life challenges, not just textbook problems. The focus stays on what’s happening now, what matters to you, and what can be tried step by step.
Language and research details are not listed here, and there’s no specific mention of clinical trials. What is consistent, though, is that sessions are done at a steady pace, with room to understand what’s going on and practical next steps along the way.
