- BACP
I am Laura, a Mbacp registered psychotherapist in the UK with 3 years of clinical experience and 15 years of working in the mental health field as a support worker. I am spiritual but not religious, and I can work somatically/energetically using gestalt methods with you, which means exploring feelings in the body to understand and access underlying emotions and experiences in the here and now that could be related to trauma and working at processing these feelings and how they can cause certain reactions. We can then work with regulating the body to a natural, calmer state through awareness of self.
Through a therapeutic relationship built on trust, openness and awareness, we can work through the struggles in your life that prevent you from being your best version of yourself and to bring awareness of any blocks holding you back.
I'm also neurodivergent and experienced in trauma, anxiety, bereavement, isolation, perimenopause/menopause and changes women experience. I also have experience in helping clients with low self-esteem and confidence issues, ADHD, autism, dyslexia and LGBTQ+.
I believe that you are the expert of your experiences and I am here not to give you answers but to help you become self-aware and also identify your strengths and bring these strengths into your awareness. You are in full control of your journey with me, I am here to hold you through your journey. You make the change you need and have full credit in doing so!
Taking the first step into therapy can be a daunting process, but with the right therapist, building a healthy therapeutic relationship can be the start of great enlightenment and growth in so many ways. For therapy to work at its best, you need to be ready to do the work with me in a safe environment.
You will find me to be empathic, compassionate, non-judgmental, authentic and grounded.
I look forward to having the pleasure to work with you on your unique journey :)

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
