Counselling for Adults in Biddenden
Is life getting you down? Do you feel listened to and supported? Are you struggling to like yourself? Do you sometimes feel you may be acting against your own best interests? Do you wonder why, so much of the time, you feel unable to bring about lasting change in the ways you relate to other people, and to life generally? I believe that early life experiences are critical to the person we become. Some of those early experiences will work to our good, whilst others may be at the root of why we find ourselves struggling, often without realising it. Self-awareness is key.

When you find yourself at a place where you need to talk about what's going on for you it can be daunting to make contact with a counsellor - I understand and warmly welcome you to my profile. You may feel like no one around you understands you or knows how to help you, you might feel like you want to share difficult things from your past or you may want to make sense of an experience. Maybe you want to make changes in your life or you just don't know what's happening for you right now. Whatever you're experiencing I offer a space that is safe, non-judgmental and welcoming.

Hello, and welcome. I am so glad you have found your way here.
My name is Laurie White-Bracken. I specialise in working with men & boys, and individuals with ADHD (both formally and self-diagnosed). This means that I often work around topics such as unworthiness, anger, shame, feeling misunderstood, injustice and overwhelm.
That said, I do not limit my practice to anyone, and am always open to working with those who have the desire to find a more fulfilling, and peaceful life, and are at a point in their life where they are ready to do so.

It is not uncommon to reach a point in life where you feel you need to reach out for help and talk about what is going on for you in a safe space without the fear of being judged, not being taken seriously and with someone who is trained to help you. It doesn't matter how problematic your life is or what form, or size (small, medium or big) the problems or challenges in your life take, if they are causing you to suffer and be unhappy then I can help you explore them, move forwards and grow at a pace that works for you.

I believe every relationship carries a unique story, shaped by culture, family, faith, trauma, personality, and the nervous system. When couples struggle, it’s rarely because they don’t care — it’s because something in their system has become overwhelmed, unheard, or unprotected.
I create a space where both partners can slow down, feel safe, and truly hear each other — not just with their ears, but with their hearts and nervous systems. My work is gentle, direct, and respectful of each person’s story.
Whether you’re navigating conflict, emotional distance, communication breakdowns, cultural differences, or the impact of trauma.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
