Dr Lauren Brown is a Psychologist based in Ivanhoe, VIC. You can find her practice at 30 Seddon Street, Ivanhoe VIC 3079. She supports people and families through the day-to-day challenges that can build up over time, especially when things start to feel a bit hard to manage.
Lauren works with adults and families who want practical help, not just talk for the sake of it. Her sessions can suit individual therapy, and she also offers couples therapy when communication breaks down or when life changes feel too heavy. Family therapy is another option, particularly when routines, roles, or behaviour in the home are causing stress.
In many cases, people come in dealing with stress, worry, or low mood. Some are trying to make sense of tough experiences. Others want to slow down their racing thoughts and build steadier coping habits. Lauren also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which is a structured approach that focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It can be useful when you want clear steps you can try between sessions.
Alongside CBT, sessions often include stress management techniques. That might look like learning ways to spot stress triggers early, using calmer thinking when things feel out of control, and setting small goals that are realistic for everyday life. At times, it’s about adjusting how you respond to pressure. Other times, it’s about making room for better routines, sleep, and recovery.
Lauren’s work also includes language support in English and Afrikaans, which can make sessions feel more comfortable and clear. Education details aren’t listed here, so there isn’t much specific information available in this profile. Clinical trials and research information also aren’t shown, so there’s nothing listed here about publications or trial involvement.
Overall, Lauren aims for therapy that feels grounded and practical. Whether you’re looking for help for yourself, working on a relationship, or trying to improve how a family functions day to day, the focus stays on support, understanding, and steady progress.
