Lorren is a registered Clinical Psychologist based in Brisbane Australia. She has completed a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. She has worked in the area of child protection for over 20 years with children and young people who have experienced trauma, abuse and compromised beginnings. This has included supporting families, foster carers, residential care staff, teachers and other professionals to understand and positively support the growth of a secure, trauma informed network around the child. Lorren has worked as a therapist both within a public health setting as well as in private practice for many years, however now just works within her private practice. She specialises in utilising a DDP approach and gently challenging and supporting the formation of stronger attachment relationships for this population.

Lorren brings this combined knowledge and experience to her client work.
