About Lauren
Therapy that makes room for the whole story
Hi, I’m Lauren, a Canadian Certified Counsellor and the founder of Nutbrown Counselling in Kelowna, BC.
Many of the people I support are thoughtful, capable adults who feel worn down by intrusive thoughts, food and body image distress, compulsions, perfectionism, or a mind that feels loud and hard to settle.
I understand that these patterns often developed for a reason. My role is not to take them away abruptly, but to help you understand them with compassion while building steadier, more flexible ways of coping.
At Nutbrown Counselling, you do not have to perform or pretend. You can come as you are, and we will begin there.
