Laura Moresi is an Educational and Developmental Psychologist and Psychologist based in Ivanhoe, VIC. You can find her at 30 Seddon Street, Ivanhoe VIC 3079. Her work helps children, young people, and families understand what’s going on, and then put practical supports in place.
Laura often supports people who are dealing with learning and development challenges. This can include learning difficulties, attention and behaviour concerns, and situations where school or home routines just feel hard to manage. At times, the goal is to help kids build skills, and at other times it’s about making sense of why things keep happening and what might help next.
Sessions can also be useful for parenting support. Many families come in after repeated struggles at home, or when they want a clearer plan for day-to-day moments like homework, sleep, emotions, and transitions. Laura looks after the whole picture, not just one part of the problem.
Along the way, she may use a mix of counselling and behaviour-focused work. She also provides cognitive assessments when they’re needed, especially when clarity is important for school supports or for understanding a child’s learning profile. These assessments can be a turning point, but they’re also handled with care, so the process feels understandable rather than overwhelming.
Laura works with families using approaches such as behavioural therapy and cognitive strategies. She keeps the tone calm and grounded, and she explains things in plain language. Over time, many clients find that small changes can make a big difference—especially when everyone knows what they’re aiming for.
In terms of education, Laura has completed her psychology training and continues to keep up with current best practice in her field. She doesn’t list a specific research focus publicly, but she aims to use approaches that have solid support in everyday clinical work. Clinical trials are not listed as part of her service.
If you’re looking for psychological support in Ivanhoe, Laura’s practice is a good option for families who want help with learning disability evaluations, parenting support, and clear next steps for counselling and behaviour concerns.
