I’m Dr Laura Surley - Clinical Psychologist and founder of NeuroNest Psychology. I have worked in NHS psychology services for 16 years and in private practice for 4 years. My passion is working with people who have brains that work differently, also known as neurodivergence. I have chosen to specialise in working with people of all ages to better understand how their brains work. I want to support people to explore their neurodivergence through specialist neuropsychological assessment, and to help people, and those around them, to understand how their unique profile of strengths and difficulties translates into everyday life.

I am trained in Relational Integrative Therapy, meaning I place a central amount of importance on the therapeutic relationship over and above individual modalities and approaches. I believe we are all autonomous agents looking to take ownership over own mental wellbeing with a therapist who is able to collaborate with them and offer unconditional support. I look to keep myself informed of a wide variety of approaches, but place a particular emphasis on psychodynamic therapy which explores childhood and early life experiences in order to foster self awareness and freedom from harmful behavioural patterns.

Most importantly, I work with people, not diagnoses or labels. I specialise in working with those with a history of trauma, whether that’s one off events such as a car crash, sexual assault or attack, or layers of trauma in the form of childhood neglect/abuse, a military/medical career or an abusive relationship. I try to help my patients overcome their ongoing reactions to this trauma, such as nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive memories, high levels of anxiety and poor sleep. I also work with people experiencing moral injury and survivors guilt. Additionally, those experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD and relationship issues.
