LAUREN VINES

Principal Psychologist and Behaviour Support Practitioner

About Me
I’m a registered psychologist serving the Wheatbelt community since 2020. Finding local mental-health support can be challenging, so my goal is to make therapy accessible and positive.

Community & Family
As a mum of three energetic boys, I’ve learned firsthand about life’s everyday ups and downs. Parenting has taught me more than any textbook—balancing everyone’s needs is real!

My Approach

  • Neurodiversity-affirming: I celebrate each person’s unique way of thinking

  • Person-centred: You’re the expert in your own life; I work with you to identify strengths, needs, and goals

Therapeutic Tools
I draw from evidence-based modalities to tailor support:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

  • Mindfulness

  • Brief Solution-Focused Therapy

Professional Credentials

  • Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), Curtin University (2011)

  • Postgraduate Certificate in Forensic Mental Health, Griffith University (2014)

  • Graduate Diploma of School Psychology, UWA (2019)
