Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and for taking the first step towards positive change. Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when concerns relate to sex, intimacy or relationships. You will be met with warmth, understanding and respect. As an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with specialist training with CICS in Psychosexual Therapy, I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space to explore sensitive concerns. Psychosexual therapy recognises the connection between mind, body, emotions and relationships, and how these influence sexual wellbeing and intimacy.

Hi, I’m Laura. I know that being human isn’t always easy—our thoughts and feelings can feel confusing, overwhelming, and at times, too much to carry alone. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, but it can also be the start of meaningful change. I offer a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be truly heard. Whether you’re feeling stuck, struggling to make sense of things, or simply need someone impartial to listen, I’m here to support you. Building a trusting, therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
