Laura Lu

Registered Clinical Counsellor

Laura Lu (she/her) is an empathic, insightful, and approachable counsellor who feels honoured to walk alongside others on their healing journeys. In counselling sessions with Laura, you can show up exactly how you are: afraid, heartbroken, confused, wounded, enraged, curious, lonely, anxious, hopeful, excited, uncertain. It is her privilege to meet you wherever you are in the moment with compassion, safety, trust, and understanding. Laura will act as a mirror so you can look deeper within yourself and step out of your comfort zone – when you feel ready.

Laura believes that everyone has the innate capacity for healing within them. Her goal is to help you discover your intuitive wisdom, so that you can have a more meaningful connection with yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Laura’s practice is grounded in anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, and social justice principles, and she views counselling as an individual pursuit of collective liberation. In her work with clients, she draws on her favourite blend of somatic, mindfulness-based, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed therapies.
