Dr Larisa McLoughlin is a registered member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), and a counselling and youth mental health specialist with nationally recognised expertise in bullying, cyberbullying, and mental health. She was awarded her PhD in 2017 after completing a Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology) Honours and a Master of Arts by Research (with a focus on criminology). Her postgraduate and doctoral research focused on the mental health impacts of cyberbullying in adolescents, including coping and help-seeking behaviours, and was funded through a scholarship by the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre.

Her work is driven by a deep commitment to supporting individuals and families affected by bullying, cyberbullying, trauma, and personal mental health challenges. This commitment is both professional and personal: she has navigated her own mental health struggles, especially after becoming a parent during the COVID pandemic in 2020, followed by significant life challenges including divorce, which further shaped her perspective and passion for this field. Therefore, she provides an evidence-informed approach that values sensitivity, respect, and practical strategies to improve wellbeing.
