“The Counselling Space is a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-transformative private practice supporting children, young people, adults, and families across Australia. Led by Angie Laussel, an AuDHD Mental Health Accredited Social Worker, Clinical Supervisor, and Registered Play Therapist with 30+ years of experience, the practice offers a deeply personalised and relational approach to therapy and SuperVision. The Counselling Space specialises in working with Autistic and ADHD clients of all ages, people exploring their neurodivergent identity, and those navigating complex trauma, sensory needs, dissociation, or chronic masking. Their work blends evidence-backed talk-based therapies with creative, play-based, and expressive modalities, supporting people to unmask safely, build authentic self-understanding, and reconnect with their strengths. For children and families, Angie offers child-centred play therapy, Filial Therapy/CPRT, parent support, and creative approaches for trauma recovery. Her "Navigating Neurodivergence" online group for parents of neurodivergent children is run several times a year, online for easy access across Australia. With teens and adults, she draws on narrative, strengths-based, somatic, and process-oriented frameworks, always grounded in respect for neurodivergent communication, sensory profiles, and lived experience. Angie also provides clinical supervision to social workers, play therapists, and allied health professionals seeking neuro-affirming, reflective, and creative supervision grounded in contemporary best practice (she is an Accredited Social Work Supervisor and a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor). Whether online or in-person, The Counselling Space is a quirky, warm, and inclusive service where people feel understood, validated, and supported to make sense of their inner world at their own pace and in their own way. She provides online services across Australia & internationally (excluding USA and Canada).”
