I am Laura, a UKCP registered psychotherapist and counsellor, with a Masters in Psychosynthesis Psychology.  I take a trauma informed  approach with clients to explore challenges, historical patterns and behaviours which have impacted us and hold us back. Therapy enables  awareness, self empowerment and opportunity to heal from the past, make better choices and to live more fulfilling lives in who we are and who we can be.

Working in partnership with my clients, I create a safe and supportive space to encourage and empower people towards understanding of their history and a discovery of their potential through personal unfoldment.

My holistic approach involves taking a psychospiritual perspective. I combine traditional talking therapy with a focus on self compassion, parts work, mindfulness, body/ feelings awareness and inner child work to help clients achieve, emotional balance and freedom within themselves.

I believe that working through your pain, empowers you to find who you truly want to be. I can assist with a range of issues including, anxiety, addiction, trauma, adverse childhood experiences, co dependency, eating disorders, high sensitivity, Narcissistic abuse,  depression, self-worth, shame, loneliness, change and transition, relationships, sexuality, crisis and meaning and bereavement.

 I work with clients short term or long term on an open ended basis, with a commitment to weekly sessions. We can discuss which is the most suitable for you in your initial session. Regular sessions are 60 minutes and the cost is on a sliding scale.

I follow the UKCP ethical framework and I am happy to show you evidence of professional training and insurance. 

No matter what your personal struggle is, counselling and psychotherapy can help you to a greater mastery of who you are and relief from your symptoms. With awareness and insight, we gain power over the feelings that once held us captive.
