Laura Bell

I work privately Wednesday-Friday 9am-5pm, and offer face-to-face appointments (with Covid measures in place), online, or telephone appointments.

Something extremely challenging may have happened (or be happening) in your life, and you might be struggling to make or integrate changes. You might not be feeling comfortable in yourself, or around others. You might be experiencing low self-esteem, tension, sadness, or problems in your relationships. Maybe you’re not feeling yourself, and you’re not exactly sure why. Maybe you’ve reached a point of crisis and you’re not sure how you’re going to get through it. Reaching out for help can be a courageous step that shows determination and strength.

I can offer you an accepting therapeutic relationship that will allow you to safely explore and process complex experiences. I work flexibly and creatively to help you to develop and achieve goals –  valuing all of the different parts of you with curiosity, empathy, and genuine care. 

Working mainly from a person-centred perspective, I also draw on the multiple theoretical approaches that I have explored within my training and continued professional development in adapting to your needs. I believe that we all have a drive towards our own unique potential, and I will and encourage you to connect with and follow your instincts and sense of judgement. I can help you to communicate and operate more smoothly within yourself; as well as reconnect with important parts of who you are, your strengths, and internal resources. I work in a collaborative way that offers you the flexibility to explore and process what you feel is important at your own pace; supporting you to be compassionate and patient with yourself in making the changes you feel ready to make, when you feel ready to make them.
