Lauren McKeogh Psychologist

Lauren has worked with adults in both the public and private sectors, including within a forensic environment. Lauren’s experience of working within forensic environments has given her a unique perspective in understanding the challenges that arise from working within these environments that have allowed her to tailor her interventions and support of staff to be as applicable as possible. Throughout her professional experience she has worked with a variety of clients with mental health and wellbeing concerns ranging from stress, anxiety, anger, bullying, sexual assault victim/survivors, workplace stress and bullying, to trauma and vicarious trauma. Managing these concerns ranges supporting them to build their self-care strategies, promoting resilience, encouraging the use of effective stress management strategies, and coaching in assertive communication and conflict resolution skills. Lauren has experience in delivering both individual and group interventions and can support groups to identify and resolve conflict that arises between group members. Lauren seeks to empower individuals within a group to identify their own needs and work collaboratively with all group members to ensure they are meeting their individual needs, as well as the needs of the group. Having worked with a diverse range of clients, including culturally, religiously, and linguistically diverse, Lauren recognises the importance of taking on a person-centred approach to her work. She strongly believes that each person has their own unique story that requires their own tailored support that is as unique as they are.
