Hello, I'm Laura, and I specialise in helping couples who feel stuck in a cycle of conflict and doubt rediscover the love and connection they once had. I also help individuals who feel like they have lost themselves in an unhealthy relationship. My approach is informed by my own journey offering a unique and empathetic perspective to my counselling practice. Growing up in South Africa, I faced significant emotional challenges early on, witnessing my mother’s struggle with depression and my father’s battle with alcohol addiction. These experiences ignited my passion for supporting others in their mental health journeys.

The ideal client is the one who is willing to bring their whole self into the therapeutic space. Firstly, they probably just want to feel better - and that is fair. Therapy usually starts right there in the very practical ground of alleviating distress. For some that is enough. Others, may want to continue the journey of personal growth to further explore patterns of behaviour and any obstacles that stand between them and their greatest potential.

Grief and loss are part of everyday life however, there are ways to complete these lost relationships allowing the Client to move forward with their life. Trauma is brought about by events out-with our control or choices we've made or others in our lives. To bring healing from these events includes having a safe place to share the experience so that new ways of managing life are developed to allow healing to take place. This enables my clients to find true peace, rest & joy with life again. Therapy enables my clients to seek & find their true self, empowers them with endurance & tenacity while encouraging them to keep persevering.

Many people today find themselves feeling out of place and disconnected, struggling to cope with the demands of an ever-changing society and it's expectations. It’s common to feel uncertain about what we want, the decisions we make, or even who we are. The lack of community or connection with people or places can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, stress, or numbness. Developing a sense of purpose in life, beyond academia, family, or career, can bring about profound changes. Discovering what brings you joy, tranquility, and balance can allow you to find the answers you seek and attain the fulfillment you desire.

Sometimes we struggle to cope with everyday life. We may feel stressed, exhausted, emotional and find it difficult to manage the overwhelming pressure of life. Sometimes we just want to be listened and understood, without judgement and interruption. My work is based on creating the right conditions where you can reveal more of yourself and under which the process of self-discovery, self-confrontations and self-acceptance will occur.

Do you wonder "what's happened to us?" Maybe you know what's happened, a betrayal for example, maybe you don't know, but things just don't feel like they used to. You might be having more arguments, feeling disconnected from each-other or resentful and hurt. Maybe you struggle to communicate without anger, or feel you can't talk about the 'big' things. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, depression or unaddressed stress that impacts your relationship. Or, maybe it is stressors outside your relationship, but is impacting it, such as in-laws or FIFO work. Whatever the cause, I imagine you just want your relationship to feel better.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
