Laura Luchi is a registered Psychologist who has been working with children, families and professionals impacted by trauma and abuse since 1995 in the government, NGO and private sectors.

Laura’s career began as a therapist working with women and children affected by family violence in a small community organisation in Sydney. Her passion and interest in the field of violence and trauma grew and extended across the child protection spectrum with particular interest on sexual abuse and its trauma related problems for children. Whilst working in the fields of child sexual abuse and domestic violence, Laura discovered her passion for teaching and writing. In the twenty years since, she has written and delivered dozens of training packages across a range of trauma and supervision related topics for child protection, police, education, counselling and out of home care organisations. Laura has worked in a range of organisations including NSW Health, Community Based NGO’s and NSW Family & Community Services. For the past seven years, she has been in practice at Cara House, Centre for Growth and Healing in Sydney, working alongside an outstanding group of trauma practitioners.

Today, Laura’s work centres around the dynamic and fascinating world of complex and developmental trauma in children and finds it’s expression in her work with professionals, carers and children alike.

Laura brings her extensive experience as a trauma therapist, trainer and clinical supervisor to the central coast where she now lives through Anima Consulting. Please email Laura if you would like to know more!
