Laura Holden

I offer face to face, online and telephone therapy. 

I have been working as a full time therapist for over 18 years in the NHS and for charities. I work with individuals, couples and supervisees. 

I offer a trusting and caring environment where you will feel able to process challenging times and difficulties in your life. I believe my extensive experience as a therapist can facilitate personal progress based upon your own specific needs and wishes.

I offer meaningful therapy to help you navigate your own way out of difficulties whether they are past or present. I aim to support you in future changes you wish to make. I have many years of experience in individual therapy using person-centred practice, EMDR and integrative methods. I am fully qualified to offer full supervision to fellow therapists and trainees.

Therapy is a big step to take. I offer an initial telephone or online consultation to see if I can help you and if you'd like to work with me. I provide a kind, supportive and development space to therapists in my supervisory role.

I am fully qualified with a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I am qualified in Person Centred Therapy, Counselling for Depression, Couples Counselling and EMDR. 

You can expect warmth, respect and a non-judgemental stance from me and a holding space for your difficulties and challenges.

I offer integrative, tailored therapy to suit your needs and goals and I like to offer my full participation and collaboration in your therapeutic journey. 

I offer an initial free telephone consultation to help identify your therapy needs.

Our first session will be dedicated to continuing to explore how you would like to move forward with your life and how the past and present impacts on that. 

I currently have availability and can be flexible around appointment times. 

I work with both qualified and trainee therapists.

I am person-centred trained who works integratively with over 15 years experience as a full time therapist who also offers supervision.

My qualifications are - 

Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. (Liverpool John Moores University)

Qualified in Counselling for Depression

Qualified Supervisor for Counselling for Depression

Couples Therapist (Tavistock)

I work in an open but structured way, giving you a framework from which you can bring your client material. 

I embrace taking into account how you work, your particular work setting, challenges and 

I hope to instil confidence in supervisees whether that is affirming what is working and supporting personal development as well as exploring increase in skills and therapeutic choices when working as a therapist. 

I hold therapists, taking into account any personal and professional issues that may arise which can impact us as therapists. 

I offer free initial telephone consultations to see if it feels like we could be the right fit to work together.

I would take the time to explore what you would like to gain from supervision, what your needs are and how you prefer to work.

I would mirror my own therapeutic work by collaborating with you, seeing what would support you and what models of supervision  work for you.
