InnerLife Counselling & Psychology
Northern Beaches Psychologist - Lara Petrulis provides therapeutic counselling for adults experiencing life challenges and mental health difficulties.I am a Registered Psychologist with over 18 years experience specialising in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Past Abuse. I am mindful of the courage it takes to reach out for support, and I am invested in offering a therapeutic space of care and safety. I work holistically and draw from a range of therapies to help clients make sense of their thoughts, feelings and behaviour, as well as relinquish life patterns that no longer serve them. The therapeutic process is an inward journey, exploring what lies beneath our symptoms. It helps us to identify the core of the issue and work in a way which brings healing to our past hurts and the source of our suffering. As part of this process, clients are supported to engage with parts of the self to bring about a depth of change that is effective and long term.

Based on my experiences in therapy, I now believe that effective treatment will only occur if you first face the unresolved emotions and fears resulting from your past. It is not good enough to simply rely on cognitive psychotherapy tools without first having a ...read more
