About Lorena
Lorena Collazo is an ACA counsellor who offers warm, evidence-based support for people facing anxiety, stress, grief and trauma. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients feel heard and understood during hard moments. Lorena was born in Spain and works in Australia.
She has five years of professional experience and has lived and travelled internationally. That background shapes a culturally aware approach and a respect for different life stories.
Background and approach
She describes her practice as trauma-informed and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on practical strategies and steady emotional work rather than quick fixes. Lorena aims to help people build resilience, improve coping, and notice small changes that add up over time.
Lorena has supported people managing chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence and complex health conditions. She also helps those dealing with relationship and family conflict, childhood trauma, domestic and family violence, workplace stress, burnout, and life transitions. Her work includes support for people coping with depression, grief, eating disorders, cancer, abandonment concerns, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and separation.
She also sees children and adolescents and adults who experience self-harm or suicidal thoughts, when appropriate. Lorena describes her style as collaborative. She draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques and creative methods to build personalised plans.
Her goal is to help people recognise strengths, increase confidence, and make changes that fit their lives.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many of the evidence-based techniques Lorena uses focus on skills you can practise in daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical coping steps to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to get clearer on values and take small, committed actions even when feelings are difficult. Somatic-informed approaches and mindfulness work with bodily sensation and breath to help reduce overwhelm and build regulation skills.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lorena works collaboratively to test techniques and adapt them to what feels useful. Together you set goals and try tools that match your needs, values and pace so therapy stays practical and understandable.
The specific session formats Lorena uses are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for different ways of working such as shorter check-ins or using video or audio to suit your needs. Appropriately qualified therapists can also adapt exercises for use between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment.
