Please contact me for availability.  I am to respond to you as quickly as possible.

Hi I'm Laura.  I’m a qualified integrative counsellor, which means I work in a flexible way and adapt how I work to suit you. Rather than using just one approach, I draw on a range of therapeutic ideas to support each person as an individual. My work brings together humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive, and existential perspectives.

In practice, this means I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace. We might look at your current experiences and emotions, as well as how past relationships, familiar patterns, or questions about meaning and direction could be influencing your present. Our work together is collaborative and flexible, with the aim of supporting insight, growth, and lasting change.

Although I work integratively, the relationship is at the heart of my work. I see counselling as a collaborative process. I offer space for reflection, curiosity, and honesty, and encourage clients to go where the work needs to go — gently, but with courage. Over time, this can support a deeper trust in your own resilience, greater self-understanding, and a stronger sense of agency in your life.

My approach is shaped by a deep understanding of how life experiences can affect us emotionally and relationally. I work with care, sensitivity, and respect for the complexity of each person’s unique story. 

Making first contact can feel like a big step. I offer a free 15 minute telephone call so you can talk things through a little, ask questions, and see how it feels to speak with me before deciding whether to book a session.
