I have a Masters in child and adolescent psychotherapy and I'm trained to work with children and adolescents at the deepest level. I combine a psychodynamic understanding of unconscious process with art and play therapy, the 'talking cure', and an understanding of neuroscience, trauma, attachment patterns and neurodiversity. I have worked with children aged 5 up to the teenage years and offer both long and short-term therapy, in-person or remotely. My clients usually love their sessions with me (the feeling is mutual) and I've worked with wide variety of emotional and behavioural difficulties.

I'm also trained to work with adults, and my experience with children brings a unique perspective to that work. I believe our childhood fundamentally shapes who we are as adults, so I explore with my clients how past experiences intersect with current relationships. An understanding of the past can often make sense of today's challenges. I can also be particularly helpful to parents and anyone else with young people in their care, offering reflective parenting insights and strategies.

My integrative training means my clients and I find a way to work together which suits them best. For some people this might be an opportunity to talk through difficulties and shape a new, more coherent narrative about their lives. Others may find art therapy, which draws on the power of our intuitive and creative right brain, most helpful.

I have a background in journalism, marketing and content design for the private and public sectors. I am also mum to two grown-up children.

My practice is home-based and located in Hither Green, south east London. 

I'm currently taking on adult clients and young people aged 11 up.

Here’s some feedback I received from a recent adult client: 'Laura is sympathetically inquisitive and instinctively followed my train of thought whilst questioning my internal assumptions in a compassionate and constructive way. My time with Laura was incredibly valuable and quickly improved my ability to positively evaluate and manage relationship challenges.'

The mum of a recent client told me, 'N has really enjoyed her sessions with you and I think it's been very helpful. We still have our ups and downs of course but I think she's in a much better place'.

I offer an initial phone call at no charge to introduce myself and learn more about what you are looking for. 

If you decide to book a session for yourself or your child, we use it to establish whether we can work well together and talk in more detail about yoiur goals for therapy. 

I advise clients to take time to think about whether I'm the right person for them before committing to further sessions. If you decide to continue, the number of sessions is up to you.

There is a charge for the first session of £70.
