Experienced Counsellor

At Lauren Hardy Counselling, my approach is grounded in compassion, clarity, and clinically sound practice. With over ten years of experience in mental health and substance use—including extensive work in forensic settings and high-stress industries like construction—I bring a calm, steady presence to help navigate even the most complex challenges.  My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Gottman-informed relational work.I don’t take a passive approach or simply “sit and nod.” Instead, I use targeted, evidence-based interventions that help clients process, heal, and move forward with confidence. Sessions are active, collaborative, and tailored to your goals—offering both support and clear therapeutic direction.I believe counselling should feel empowering and grounded in real progress.Together, we move at a pace that feels safe while building resilience, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful, sustainable change. Whether you’re navigating trauma, recovery, relationship struggles, or mental health challenges, my goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and equipped with tools that foster long-term wellness.
