About Laura Davis
Women’s Counsellor Caulfield
Counselling for Women Navigating Life
Laura Davis is a respected Melbourne counsellor who specialises in holistic approaches to women’s mental health and wellbeing. She provides compassionate, evidence-based support to women experiencing anxiety, depression, postnatal changes, menopause-related challenges, grief, and loss.
Through Boost Wellness, Laura integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and wellness-based strategies to help women navigate life’s challenges with strength and self-awareness. Her counselling approach focuses on empowerment and personal growth—supporting clients to find balance, clarity, and confidence in a safe, nurturing space.
Maybe you’re a school leaver unsure about what comes next.
Maybe you’re a new mum wondering when you’ll start to feel like yourself again.
Maybe you’re returning to work after years at home, coping with a major life change, or grieving the loss of someone—or something—important.
Transitions and losses, big or small, can stir up uncertainty, stress, or a quiet sense of being lost. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone.
At Boost Wellness, Laura supports women of all ages who are managing the invisible weight of expectations, change, grief, and emotional overwhelm. Her counselling style is warm, grounded, and person-centred—designed to help you feel safe, seen, and supported as you work through change and healing at your own pace.
Outside of her counselling practice, Laura finds balance through reading, cooking, dancing, music, and time with family. Her favourite way to recharge is being outdoors—especially by the beach—soaking up the sun and connecting with nature. She encourages her clients to explore what brings them joy and calm as part of their own wellbeing journey.
A Whole-of-Life Approach to Counselling in Melbourne:
You are much more than the symptoms you experience, and therapy should genuinely acknowledge and reflect this truth. My holistic approach means we take the time to explore all aspects of your overall wellbeing—because mental health is shaped by the entirety of your life: your personal story, the quality of your sleep, the health of your relationships, your nutrition habits, your core values, and your sense of purpose. Together, we will explore and work on:
Sleep hygiene: Understanding that a tired mind struggles to think clearly and manage emotions effectively
Stress management: Learning techniques to find calm and stability amid life’s inevitable chaos
Movement and stillness: Appreciating the importance of both physical activity and moments of rest, each playing a powerful role when in balance
Nutrition: Recognizing how small, mindful changes in your diet can boost your mood and energy levels
Joy and connection: Discovering what truly lights you up and fosters meaningful connections with others
Purpose: Focusing on cultivating a sense of meaning, especially during significant life transitions
This approach is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it is real, practical, and deeply personal—designed to empower you on your unique journey toward wellbeing.
Therapies offered at Caulfield Counselling
I use a diverse range of evidence-based therapies tailored specifically to your unique needs, ensuring that each session is shaped by your preferences and goals. You remain in the driver's seat throughout the process, guiding the direction of your healing journey. These therapeutic approaches include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Designed to help you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that may be holding you back.
Solution-Focused Therapy: Focuses on creating forward movement and building your inner strength to overcome challenges.
Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques: Practical tools to reduce anxiety, promote calmness, and bring greater mental clarity.
Strengths-Based Practice: Helps you rediscover and harness the resources and strengths that already exist within you.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Provides support for managing emotions, improving regulation, and developing resilience in difficult moments.
Why Laura?
Counselling isn't just about techniques—it's about trust and connection.
As a former student, parent, wife, daughter, friend, professional, and now empty nester, I bring more than qualifications to the therapy room. I bring life experience.
I understand how it feels to be pulled in many directions, to question your identity, or to quietly carry the weight of "having it all together." I've supported women through school leaver anxiety, new motherhood, postnatal challenges, empty nest syndrome, career transitions, and everyday overwhelm.
I also bring over 25 years of experience in wellbeing and leadership, including:
Former CEO of a wellness clinic
Current mentor at Headspace (supporting youth mental health)
Counsellor at the Mental Health Foundation of Australia
What sets me apart is my ability to hold space without judgment. I help you unpack the messy middle—so you can rebuild with clarity and confidence.
Who I Work With
Young women transitioning from school to adult life, navigating the complexities of finding their place and establishing independence.
New parents encountering emotional stress, postnatal depression, or significant changes in identity during this transformative period.
Women returning to work after time away, striving to rebuild their confidence while balancing professional and personal responsibilities.
Carers of elderly parents who are managing the challenging demands of providing support while also caring for their own well-being.
Women experiencing empty nest syndrome, divorce, or other life changes that bring feelings of loss and uncertainty.
All women in Melbourne seeking compassionate and comprehensive mental health support are warmly welcome.
No issue is too small to address. If it matters to you, it matters deeply to me.
