Laura Davis

Laura (she/her) has more than 15 years of experience across public, private, and community mental health settings throughout Tasmania, South Australia, the Northern Territory, and the ACT. She provides psychological therapy at The Crawley Clinic in Launceston and via Telehealth.

Laura has a particular interest in perinatal mental health and supporting tweens, teenagers, and young adults. She enjoys helping clients navigate periods of transition, make sense of their experiences, and develop practical strategies to build confidence and manage life's challenges.

In her perinatal work, Laura supports both birthing and non-birthing parents through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. She assists those experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, birth-related difficulties, adjustment challenges, or bonding concerns. Laura is passionate about helping parents care for their emotional wellbeing while building secure relationships with their children.

When working with young people, Laura addresses anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, and academic concerns. Where appropriate, she collaborates with parents and families while ensuring the young person maintains an active voice in their therapy.

Laura’s approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. She draws on evidence-based therapies, including:

She has completed additional training in perinatal and infant mental health via the Perinatal Training Centre, and is a trained facilitator of Circle of Security® and Tuning in to Teens®.  She will also complete Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) training later this year, incorporating this approach into her practice from early 2027.

Alongside her clinical work, Laura is passionate about supervising, mentoring, and supporting the development of psychologists and mental health professionals.  As a Clinical Team Leader at The Crawley Clinic, Laura provides leadership, mentorship, and clinical guidance to the wider clinical team, and supports psychology students on clinical placements as they develop their skills and confidence.  As a Board Approved Supervisor, Laura welcomes enquiries from provisional psychologists seeking individual supervision as part of their registration pathway, as well as registered professionals seeking regular or ad hoc supervision tailored to their professional needs, clinical work, and goals.  Her supervision style is collaborative, reflective, and supportive, fostering ongoing professional growth.
