Infidelity Counselling in Cheltenham
I work with whoever comes to me but also have special interest in the following groups: Women who may have a nagging feeling that life could be more beautiful. They may feel trapped by past choices or have experienced a wake-up call or final straw such as a bereavement, relationship difficulties, or peri-menopause or menopause difficulties. Teenagers who feel overwhelmed with life. Trainee counsellors who may be looking forward to therapy, or perhaps feel nervous about what the training is bringing up. I also work with groups teaching Creative Journalling for Wellbeing in order for them to develop their own unique practice for life.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or a little lost. Perhaps you’ve noticed familiar patterns in your relationships, at work, or in your inner world that feel hard to shift or understand. These experiences often have roots in earlier life—shaping how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we cope with the world around us. You might be looking for space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what feels difficult. Therapy offers a gentle, supportive place where we can begin to explore these thoughts and feelings together. You don’t need to have the answers—just a willingness to begin asking questions.

Hello.

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 outside of your difficulty 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 changes you want to happen.

You may have been feeling stuck or disheartened for some time, sensing that something in your life wants to shift but not knowing quite how. Perhaps you’ve tried different ways to feel better - through self-reflection, therapy, or spiritual practice - yet lasting change still feels out of reach. The challenges you face may involve low mood, anxiety, self-esteem, or difficulties with food, body image, or relationships. You might notice patterns like people-pleasing, procrastination, or feeling disconnected from your purpose or vitality. You’re now seeking a space where both your emotional and spiritual experience are understood.

I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

Contact me if you are looking for a safe person with whom you can explore matters that are important to you; this may include relationships, emotions, thoughts that concern you, or blocks you feel. The focus of our work would be you and your life. You may have goals you wish to achieve or feel hopeless and stuck. Whatever your concerns, our work may entail looking at the past or taking a more solution-focused approach. My approach assumes that the quality of our meeting is more important than any technique or theory I use and that different issues have meanings particular to the individual. Open communication is the key.

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.

I have expertise in many different areas, including communication difficulties, issues of trust, infidelity, problems with intimacy, separation and divorce, blended families, co-parenting, family breakdown and bereavement.
Our relationships can be a great source of joy in our lives, so when we're experiencing difficulties, it can have a real impact on our happiness and wellbeing. I work with couples of all orientations to help them really hear each other and understand the issues in their relationship, leading to insights, more self-awareness and a deeper understanding of their needs and what makes their connection meaningful.

Infidelity Counsellors
How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.
How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.
How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.
How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
