Laura Rizzuto

I’m a clinical psychologist based in Sydney. I love supporting clients to unlock their potential, frolicking in the ocean & exploring the best pasta bars the city has to offer. I've been providing the LGBTQIA+ community with counselling support for the past 10 years. Whether it be healing childhood trauma, preparing clients for receiving gender-affirming surgery, building a sense of personal safety to embrace each part of themselves, or learning to speak their truth with confidence, I centre my clients as the expert in their own experience & encourage them to share their own unique story. I started my career working with adolescents in youth hostels as a community social worker prior to studying my masters in Clinical Psychology. I then spent two years working with Aboriginal youth prior to working in a specialist trauma clinic where I developed a passion for healing the root cause of mental health challenges rather than focussing on symptoms. I’ve always been interested in a holistic approach to mental health & healing and so often collaborate with body-based practitioners to provide all-round care for clients. I also work as an executive coach, supporting high-performers to confidently step into their power & lead purpose-led lives.
