Laura-Beth Williams

Hi, I'm Laura. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted as you are. 

I am currently renting an accessible private therapy room in Lansdowne Bournemouth at The Regus Building (Oxford Point, 19 Oxford Road, Bournemouth, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8 8GS)

I have availability to see clients for in-person at the Regus on Mondays at 5:30pm and Thursdays from 2:30 until 4:30.

I also see clients at a counselling room in Parkstone BH14, Southbourne and Winton.

Counselling sessions also take place online and over the phone.

I work to understand you from your perspective, valuing you as a whole person. I believe you are the expert on yourself. Your lived experience matters.

I am not here to change you. My role is to support you and walk alongside you. There is no right or wrong way to do therapy. Your journey is unique to you.

Through therapy, we can explore your needs together, supporting you to reconnect with yourself, your values, and your voice and helping you move forward at your own pace.

I understand reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. You don't need to have all the right words or know exactly what to say and you can take your time in sharing what feels important to you.

If something here has resonated with you, you're very welcome to get in touch

I am neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed. Accessibility and flexibility are central to how I work.

I am a Person-Centred Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor. This means I draw from a range of approaches and tools, tailoring your sessions to what feels most supportive for you.

I welcome working with clients who are from all walks of life, all ages and genders and who come with a range of experiences and challenges.

I have experience in working with clients who have - visible and Invisible disabilities. AuDHD. Who have Neurodivergence and questioning their neurodiversity. Clients getting to understand themselves. Clients exploring challenges at work or college/university. Clients who are HSP (Highly sensitive person) Making sense of your identity and struggling with self-acceptance.

You do not need a formal diagnosis of a neurodivergence to work with me - self-identifying is perfectly welcome and valid.

If your unsure of what to speak about, or the processing feels too overwhelming there is a range of creative activities we can explore together in sessions such as working with therapy emotion cards or seeing what comes up with objects such as stones. 

Let me know what is the best way to work with you and we can adapt the sessions to your needs - or explore this in sessions. 

For example you may like to use fidget tools or draw in session. You are welcome to move around the room and take sensory breaks. 

There is no right or wrong, whatever helps you feel more comfortable.

Initial meeting - £30

Per 50 minute session - £40

An additional room hire fee for in-person sessions between £10-£15

After the initial meeting there is a reduced fee for a block booking of 6 £40 sessions making it £216 (Saving £24 OR 10%).

-This is for if you would like to invest in longer term work together, making the session fee £36) - Please note the additional room hire fee still applies on top of this if in-person. You are welcome to enquire about block booking at any point during your sessions. 

I aim to respond to all messages within 48hours.

After you've reached out, I will contact you back and ask for some information to see how best I can support you and book in for an initial meeting.

I can also offer a free up to 15 minutes phone call if this is preferable to email communication - Just ask if you would like this.

In the initial meeting we get to know each other and see if were a good match, this is a no obligation session to explore more about how I can help you, whether your looking for short or long term support.
