Laurie Hole

I work exclusively online, offering sessions via Zoom or telephone.

My working days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

I respond to all enquiries by email within 48 hours (or on the next working day for enquiries received on weekends and bank holidays). Please check your junk mail if you haven't received a response within this time.

Health Insurance: I work with with Axa, Aviva and WPA insurers - if you would like to use your cover, please let me know in your initial enquiry.

I work with heart-led, deep-thinkers who struggle with low self-worth, anxiety, and self-doubt, or who carry the weight of grief - experiences that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to feel at all.

Do you find yourself:

• Experiencing persistent self-doubt and feelings of never being good enough?
• Struggling in relationships that feel one-sided and emotionally draining?
• Finding it difficult to “switch off” and feeling the need to stay constantly busy?
• Hiding your true feelings from others?
• Struggling under the weight of other people’s expectations?
• Feeling abandoned during conflict in your relationships?
• Carrying the pressure to hold everything together?
• Experiencing anger that feels hard to contain?

If this resonates, you might be in survival mode. Unresolved experiences from earlier life can resurface in the present, layering your current struggles with anxiety, frustration, or a sense of feeling stuck that’s hard to explain.

We might be a good fit, if you:

• Often feel anxious or on edge, even when everything seems "fine".
• Feel responsible for keeping the peace and making sure everyone else is ok.
• Struggle to make decisions - big or small.
• Feel lonely despite having many close relationships.
• Have lost touch with your own needs - and feel exhausted, resentful, or invisible as a result.
• Find it hard to connect with, or express how you feel.
• Experience conflict in your relationships that feels difficult to overcome.
• No longer find joy or meaning in the things you used to enjoy.
• Identify as an introvert or highly sensitive person (HSP) and find that the world often feels overwhelming or exhausting.
• Want to deepen your self-understanding, nurture your emotional wellbeing, or simply create more meaning in your life.

Feeling sad, angry, anxious and overwhelmed is a normal response to life's painful experiences but you don't have to carry it alone.

This work is for you if you're ready to move beyond surviving and want to start feeling and living differently.

I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where we follow your lead. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the relationship we build together.

I’m attuned to how the nervous system responds to what you’re feeling - because difficult experiences don’t just show up emotionally; they’re held in the body. This way of working can gently shift patterns that talking alone might not reach, helping you feel more grounded, connected, and more trusting of yourself and your feelings.

We can explore the parts of you that show up in certain situations, especially those working to protect you. If helpful, we can also use metaphor and creative approaches to make sense of what’s hard to put into words.

We’ll shape our sessions around what you need, and together we can:

• Find breathing space when everything feels too much.
• Ease the pressure to "get back to normal".
• Make sense of what you're experiencing.
• Let go of habits that no longer serve you, like people-pleasing, perfectionism or staying busy all the time.
• Understand how past experiences might be affecting your relationships today.
• Rebuild self-compassion that leaves you feeling safer and more at ease within yourself.

From my own journey and working closely with clients, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the healing that happens when we are truly seen and accepted for who we really are.

Over the past five-years, I've worked with many clients who have left therapy feeling:

• More connected to themselves.
• Less weighed down by their experiences.
• Clearer about their own needs and what's been keeping them stuck.
• Less anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed.
• Kinder and more compassionate towards themselves.
• More hopeful and with a greater sense of confidence in both the present and the future.
• Able to live fully alongside their experiences of grief and loss.

We live in a fast-paced world that can leave us feeling empty and overwhelmed. Giving yourself the space to slow down and heal, is one of the greatest gifts you can offer yourself.

I warmly invite you to contact me to book a free exploratory call. This is a chance to discuss how we might work together, explore your hopes and expectations, and ask any questions you may have.

Therapy involves sharing deep and personal experiences, so finding the right therapist for you truly matters.

I work exclusively online, offering sessions via Zoom or telephone.

My working days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Health Insurance: I work with with Axa, Aviva and WPA insurers - if you would like to use your cover, please let me know in your initial enquiry.

I work with heart-led people who have experienced grief, loss, change and relational trauma - experiences that can leave you feeling disconnected from others, overwhelmed or unsure how to keep going. 

Do you find yourself:

• Feeling emotionally and physically drained, no matter how much rest you get?
• Frequently forgetful or scattered?
• Experiencing anger you can't contain?
• Struggling in relationships - whether with a partner, friend or family?
• Feeling ambivalent towards life?
• Unmotivated, unproductive or overwhelmed?
• Hiding your true feelings from others?

If this resonates with you, you may be stuck in survival mode. When earlier life experiences remain unresolved, they can be reactivated by later losses, adding layers of anxiety, frustration and distress.

We might be a good fit, if you are:

• Feeling as if you're just going through the motions.
• Living a life that changed in a way you didn't choose and are unsure how to live with.
• Unrecognisable from the person you once were.
• Struggling to say no.
• Always putting others first.
• Finding it hard to connect with or express how you feel.
• No longer finding joy or meaning in things you used to enjoy.
• Struggling with routine but unable to relax.

Feeling sad, angry, anxious and overwhelmed is a normal response to life's painful experiences but you don't have to carry this alone. 

My Specialisms

Grief, Loss & Change - Grief isn't just something we experience after a death. It also shows up after a break-up, a career shift, a change in identity or circumstances, abortion or termination for medical reasons - to name just a few.

Childhood Emotional Neglect - Not having your emotional needs met as a child is a hidden trauma. It often shows up in adulthood as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression or people-pleasing. I can help you recognise this form of relational trauma and support you through grieving the relationships you needed but didn't have.

Whatever your experience, I will meet you where you are at, without judgement, suggestions, advice or platitudes.
