About L.W. Counselling
About Me
Hello, I'm Lachlan, a qualified clinical social worker (Master of Social Work) and anthropologist (B.Anth) with almost a decade of experience providing counselling and psychosocial supports
I have worked in roles across community mental health, youth work, specialty medicine and clinical spiritual care. With this experience I incorporate anthropological studies in spirituality, symbolism and ritual to create a unique approach to counselling
I have experience working with people of diverse cultural, spiritual and religious backgrounds, the neurodiverse, and the LGBTQIA+ community
My Approach
I am not providing you with a spiritual path - I am helping you connect with your own
Whether you're a skeptical atheist or deeply religious, I provide a safe space to reflect, relate and integrate - discussing 'spiritual' ideas and exploring how they affect your overall wellbeing
My approach is strengths focused, non-judgemental, culturally inclusive and trauma-informed - incorporating elements of spirit and science, without losing the magic!
What is 'Spirituality'?
Spirituality does not have to come from religion, cultural traditions or dancing in the moonlight (unless that's your thing!)
Spiritual experiences come in many forms - music, sports, poetry, connection to a divine presence, or just a cup of tea.
Our spiritual journey is uniquely our own and people should be empowered to redefine and reclaim this concept in a way which aligns with their own unique experiences and values.
Themes
I'm here to meet you wherever you are on your journey. Keeping it light or asking difficult questions, you set the tone and pace of our work together
Some common themes which people seek support for include:
- Spirituality for Skeptics: Spirituality isn't just for devout worshipers, yogis, or people who meditate - it's an innate and unique human experience. I offer an accessible way to explore and define 'spirituality' in your own terms, starting from scratch, without the need to have any prior established beliefs.
- Spiritual Integration & Embodiment: Supporting a tangible grounding for intangible concepts. We explore this mind-body-spirit link via an array of creative strategies and practices ranging from mindfulness to ritual, suited to your own beliefs and lifestyle.
- Religious Re-Integration: For many, spirituality is intertwined with an upbringing or involvement with religion. Good or bad, there can come a time when we need to explore our faith away from the expectations of that religion. We explore your beliefs and reintegrate aspects of your faith away from potential cultural or community conflict.
