What happens in a session?
There isn't a Busy Kin formula.
Sometimes we will untangle something that's been going on for months. Sometimes we'll talk about what's happening with your kids or your relationships. Sometimes we will talk about the big dreams, and sometimes we will set little goals to get us through the week. My approach draws on trauma-informed, attachment based narrative style methodology, but you don't need to know any of that to come along. You bring what's happening and we will work out where to start together.
Hi, I'm Laura.
Accredited Social Worker (AASW)
7+ years' social work experience
Trauma-informed, attachment and family-focused practice
As an Accredited Social Worker, counselor, and parent, I founded Busy Kin to provide a sanctuary for those who are always the pillars of support for others. I assist caregivers through the raw realities of life—managing overwhelm, navigating relationship shifts, evolving identities, and the exhaustion that comes when everyone demands your attention simultaneously. My style is empathetic, evidence-based, and practical, deliberately avoiding a cold, clinical feel. Our time together might involve analyzing past influences, addressing current family dynamics, or simply validating that taking a five-minute breather in the laundry room is a valid coping mechanism. You don't need a formal diagnosis or a rigid set of objectives to start this process. Bring your authentic self, exactly as you are today, and we will navigate the path forward as a team. Busy Kin is here to ensure that while you care for everyone else, someone is finally looking out for you.
NDIS Social Work
Busy Kin also provides social work support for self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants aged 18+.
Support may focus on relationships, responding to distress, identity, self-advocacy and participation in everyday life.
