Lorena Collazo, ACA

Lorena Collazo is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Lorena speaks English and Spanish and draws on lived experience as a single mother and international traveller to bring a culturally informed outlook.

She has worked with people living with chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence and complex health conditions. Lorena also assists those dealing with relationship and family conflict, divorce and separation, blended family issues, abandonment and attachment concerns. She names practical problems such as workplace stress, burnout, and communication difficulties among the issues she addresses.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She describes a collaborative style that focuses on practical strategies and skills. Sessions aim to identify goals, build coping tools, and strengthen day-to-day routines rather than rely on jargon or abstract promises.

Lorena notes particular experience with grief, trauma, and post-traumatic recovery. She integrates methods that attend to the body and emotional responses while keeping work focused on measurable steps forward. The work is presented in straightforward terms and adapted to cultural background when relevant.

As a doctoral researcher, she keeps current with practice developments and understands research-informed methods. To begin, readers are invited to use the online matching process to schedule a first session and to confirm which session formats are offered at the time of booking.
