Meet The Team

Lara Forza, Co-Founder and Operations Director

Hello! I'm Lara, the Operations Director for Restoring Hope Therapies. I'm passionate about organisational excellence, personal growth, and creating opportunities for support in our communities. I'm also on an enriching journey as a Systemic Psychotherapy Trainee, delving into the complexities of relationships.

With over 15 years of experience in information and operations management, I've honed my skills in optimising processes, enhancing efficiency and driving strategic initiatives. My diverse background with both large and small organisations has equipped me with a strong foundation in leadership, problem-solving and team development.

In addition to my corporate experience, I'm dedicated to expanding my knowledge in systemic psychotherapy. As a trainee, I'm expanding my knowledge in relational dynamics, family systems, and therapeutic interventions that promote healing and growth. This dual perspective enriches my approach to leadership and fosters a holistic understanding.

I believe in the synergy between organisational effectiveness and psychological well-being. My experience in operations management informs my understanding of team dynamics, communication patterns, and organisational culture, while my training in systemic psychotherapy deepens my empathy, insight, and ability to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics.

Whether it's optimising operational processes, fostering healthy relationships, or promoting mental wellness, I'm committed to creating a positive impact and facilitating growth on both individual and systemic levels.
