About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I'm Laura.

When things feel difficult to manage, therapy can help build awareness, understanding, self-compassion and positive change into your life. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and trustworthy space, where we can explore the past to understand the present, making links, exploring thoughts, feelings and patterns and developing coping skills.

I am a fully qualified and experienced BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of various counselling associations. I specialise in working with; depression, anxiety, Intrusive thoughts & compulsions, trauma, neurodiversity differences and infertility & reproductive trauma.

I work alongside you towards your goals, in a way that integrates the various counselling approaches and tools I have learned. Whilst exploring issues I integrate emotion regulation and distress tolerance CBT and DBT tools that can create a sense of hope and support.

Psychological theories that influence my work include; Person-centred Theory, Polyvagal Theory (nervous system regulation), Internal Family Systems Theory (Inner child and part of self exploration), CBT, DBT, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, Attachment Theory and Trauma informed Therapy.

I have a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Skills and Theory (CBT) qualification.
