More about Laura

3 years' experience
Female
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. I am spiritual but not religious and can work somatically/energetically with you.

I can help you with any struggles in your life that prevent you from being your best version of yourself and to live your best life free from weights holding you down.

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 therapy with me will help you identify your strengths and bring these sometimes unconscious strengths into your awareness, along with anything else you may need to work on.

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.

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.
