Laura Doughty

I offer a straightforward, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what’s going on without feeling like you need to have it all figured out.

My approach is integrative, person-centred and trauma-informed. This means I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what you need, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our work might involve understanding patterns in your thoughts, emotions and relationships, exploring experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, developing healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions, or working through situations that currently feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate.

I’m not there to tell you what to do or give you a list of things to fix. I’ll help you make sense of what’s happening, challenge unhelpful patterns where appropriate and develop a better understanding of yourself and what you need.

I work particularly with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or unsure of what they want next. We can explore areas such as anxiety, self-worth, identity, relationships, boundaries, burnout, life changes and the impact of past experiences.

If you’re looking for therapy that is honest, practical and focused on meaningful change, get in touch.

I offer therapy for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or unsure how to move forward.

My approach is integrative, person centred and trauma informed. I don’t believe therapy should be a one size fits all process, so I adapt the way we work depending on you, what you’re experiencing and what you want from therapy.

You might come to therapy because of anxiety, low self worth, relationship difficulties, burnout, life changes, difficult emotions or experiences from your past that still affect you. Sometimes there isn’t one obvious reason you simply know that something doesn’t feel right and you want to understand why.

Our sessions are a space to talk honestly about what’s going on, without judgement. We can explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships and behaviour, understand where they may have come from and look at what could be different.

I won’t tell you what you should do or try to change who you are. I’ll offer a different perspective, ask questions that help you think more deeply and, where appropriate, challenge patterns that may no longer be working for you.

I particularly enjoy working with women who have spent a lot of time meeting other people’s expectations and have lost sight of themselves in the process. Therapy can be an opportunity to understand what you actually need, what matters to you and what you want your life to look like.

My style is warm, honest and down to earth. I want therapy to feel like a genuine conversation, while still giving you the depth, challenge and professional support needed to make meaningful changes.

If you’re ready to understand yourself better and do something differently, I’d be happy to hear from you.
