Laura Manifold

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or out of step with yourself, you’re not alone.

Are you carrying the emotional weight of past experiences in ways that feel confusing or hard to describe? You might notice this showing up as anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or difficulty connecting with yourself or others. Familiar patterns may repeat, leaving you feeling unsure how to move forward.

What you’re feeling is not a flaw or failure—it’s a natural response to your experiences. In our work together, we create gentle space to explore how these patterns may be shaping your life now, helping you reconnect with a sense of inner safety, self-trust, and resilience. Therapy with me offers a calm, compassionate space where you can move at your own pace, feel heard and supported, and gradually find the clarity and confidence to shape a life that feels true to you. 

The relationship we build together forms the foundation for meaningful change. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or returning to therapy after previous experiences, you are welcome here.

I offer a flexible and responsive approach to therapy, shaped around what feels most important for you in the moment. My work is gentle, collaborative, and centred on empowerment—supporting you to reconnect with your inner strength, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim your voice.

In therapy sessions, we may use gentle ways of connecting with the body to feel steady and present; creative approaches to support expression; and practical tools for emotional regulation. We also build a shared understanding of your experiences, so you feel more supported both in and outside of our time together.

I offer individual therapy sessions, working online or in-person in south east London. I offer both short and long-term ongoing therapy.  I also offer a limited number of spaces to students and those on low income and please contact me to enquire about availability.

I offer a free 20 minute phone call where we can discuss the reasons you’re thinking about therapy, how I may be able to help and to see if I’m the right therapist for you.  I believe it's very important to find a therapist that feels right for you.
