Hello and welcome. How can I help support you? It can be difficult to express our feelings or make sense of what is happening to us. Enabling ourselves to be truly heard is important so that we might explore our difficulties. You may feel that a change is needed. Perhaps you struggle with unhelpful patterns or have difficulty setting boundaries for yourself. Do you replay events, wishing that you had done things differently? Perhaps a past trauma is haunting you. Navigating our challenges can make us feel out of control, lost and frustrated. By working together we can heal, build strength and resilience and feel more fulfilled.

I am also registered as a therapist with Bupa Insurance.
Life can be busy, and it's easy to keep going without taking time to pause and reflect. Therapy offers that opportunity. My role is to listen carefully, understand your experiences, and support you as you work through the challenges you face. A safe, supportive therapeutic relationship is at the heart of our work together. As talking therapy isn't right for everyone, I also offer equine and animal-assisted therapy. Through feeling heard and understood, you can develop greater self-awareness and acceptance, leading to positive changes in your wellbeing, relationships, and daily life.

I work with people who appear to be coping and feel exhausted underneath. Most come with anxiety that will not switch off, or with trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD that still lives in the body. People often arrive after managing alone, after long waits, or when work and home are suffering. In a first conversation we decide whether CBT, EMDR or a mix is a good fit. We agree a focus, work at a pace that feels manageable, and review as we go. You can self-refer and you don't need a GP letter. Sessions are online UK-wide or in person in Milton Keynes. The work is structured, confidential and paced with you.

Hello, I am Laura an experienced therapist, here to help. Through sessions we will be able to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours at the moment and how you have gotten to today. We will consider what changes you are able to make to ensure that you are back living your best life. Often by understanding what has happened in the past we can better understand what is challenging today.
Vicious cycles can start slowing and build up over time. What makes things easier in the short term can often have a larger impact in the longer term.
