Laura Grace

Psychologist | Founder | Chronic Pain Co-Pilot| Guide Through the Wobbles | Human First

Laura is the kind of psychologist who believes safety is at the heart of everything chronic pain.

Warm, attuned, and a little bit rebellious in all the right ways, she blends science and softness to support clients navigating the messy, layered reality of being human in a complex body.

Laura works with women and AFAB folk who are:

  • Living with pelvic pain including those that have been dismissed or misunderstood

  • Navigating neurodivergence in a world that demands masks and stillness

  • Carrying medical trauma, chronic health grief, or the quiet rage of not being believed

  • Facing intimacy challenges, identity shifts, perinatal changes, or menopause transitions

  • Stuck in shutdown, burnout, or just bone-deep done

Fully registered and postgrad-qualified, she brings experience from hospitals, multidisciplinary pain clinics, women’s health settings, and sexual health services.

She’s trained in Schema Therapy, ACT, CFT, EMDR, pain science, trauma-informed practice, and she can pull from these to create an approach unique to you — but won’t throw it at you like a textbook (worksheets are not her vibe).

Vibe

Calm presence. Fierce advocate.

Will name the thing everyone’s skirting around, softly.

Doesn’t flinch at tears, shutdowns, or tangled truths.

Swears occasionally. Smiles often.

Will absolutely throw hands (professionally) at the systems that taught you to shrink yourself.

Often describes pain as “a body saying no in the language it knows”.

Tea drinker. Quiet feminist. Big-hearted nerd.

Nervous system soothers (from her own life)

Laura knows what it’s like to live in a body that needs more gentleness than grit.

Her own regulation rituals include:

  • Soft lighting and linen curtains that move just slightly in the breeze

  • Listening to the rain

  • Tea (always)

  • Hot chocolate (sometimes)

  • A carefully curated instrumental playlist

  • Books everywhere (and a TBR pile as tall as her)

  • A heavy blanket when the world feels too loud

  • Deep breaths she sometimes forgets to take until someone reminds her (often herself)

This is the same energy she tries to bring into session:
slowness, care, and the quiet permission to just be.
