I offer compassionate therapy to support people who are experiencing things like anxiety, trauma, stress and burnout, depression, grief and loss and low self-esteem. Often, people will come to me feeling low, stuck, or overwhelmed with a busy mind and difficult emotions. Some people aren't sure what's up, but somehow know they are not where they want to be in life, caught up in difficult thoughts, feelings, or situations, lacking fulfilment or a sense of contentment. I have additional experience working with neurodivergence and long-term health conditions.

Trying to make sense of feelings and emotions in times of stress and change can be challenging. I use both or either SandStory Therapy(R) and Emotional Logic, bespoke to adults' individual needs to help gain better awareness of underlying difficulties. SandStory is a non-talking therapy, using chosen symbols within a sand tray, drawing on Jungian theory to enable deep exploration and understanding of what is being expressed from your unconscious. Emotional Logic coaching is a self-development method providing you with lifelong tools to help you when engaging with new and unpredictable situations.

My work focuses on commonly experienced problems such as anxiety disorders, depression and low mood as well as trauma experiences, using evidence based psychological therapies. I work best with people who have the aim of symptom reduction through exploring the relationship between their challenges in life and their thoughts and behavioural responses. Ideally this is with the aim to have a short term, effective treatment with an ongoing self management plan.

I recognise that life is a journey that can sometimes be a struggle. Life in this modern world is often chaotic, stressful and moves at such a fast pace, yet our reptilian brains are still designed to deal with cave man threats. This can lead to our bodies being flooded with fight, flight or freeze responses. In time these can build and lead to conditions such as anxiety, depression and low level trauma if not dealt with correctly. Having the support to help you through is not always easy to find.

Hello, I’m Lara, I am an integrative counsellor and incorporate both person-centred and psychodynamic techniques. The person-centred approach creates a nurturing environment for personal growth, much like providing a plant with the right conditions—soil, water, light, and nutrients—so it can thrive. Similarly, in therapy, we create a supportive space that allows you to grow and flourish. The psychodynamic approach focuses on how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. By understanding these influences, you can gain clarity, self-awareness, and a sense of control over your life.

Perhaps your child is unhappy at school or experiencing confusion, distress, loneliness, social difficulties or is struggling to navigate the many developmental and emotional challenges that are part of growing up. Maybe you have tried every approach you can think of to support your child and feel that some clarity or a different perspective on your situation would help. It might be that a specific event or big change in your child’s life has unsettled them and they would benefit from speaking with a trained professional to be able to better understand what they are going through.

Let's work together to figure out the next steps to feeling better: Seeking help, as you are doing by searching this site, is a brave and important step in satisfying your own needs - in doing this, you are already creating some relief and a pathway towards yourself as you wish to be. You may feel lost or confused as to what comes next, but you have already shown that you can think in new ways and adapt in order to change a situation which isn’t working for you. Our task is to get in touch with feelings that can further open up your awareness, to allow change to happen.

Becoming our authentic self can feel like a lifelong journey, especially if we are neurodivergent or exploring gender and sexuality. Many of us have learned that we don’t fit or struggle to find a space to call our own. Accepting and living as our true selves can have a positive impact on all areas of our our life. I'm a committed ally to the transgender community, with both personal and professional experience. I recognise the challenges—social, emotional, and systemic you face—and I’m here to offer genuine, informed support.
