I work with both young people and adults presenting with a multitude of 'being human' experiences. I am passionate about the benefits of therapy and the exploration and understanding of ourselves that this experience provides. Together we can look at whatever is troubling you - either past or present, enabling a deeper understanding of you, freeing you to live life in the here and now. I provide a safe, confidential and non judgemental environment where we can work together to achieve this.

Events within our lives can leave you feeling anxious depressed and lacking in confidence. Seeking help during these difficult times can often seem overwhelming and the world can seem a scary place. I am a qualified Counsellor experienced in working with clients with addictions, or who are trying to cope with the loss of a loved one. Circumstances have left some of my clients with low self esteem and generally feeling low.

Whatever your reasons for considering therapy, I know it takes a lot courage to even contemplate starting a journey towards becoming a different-you. It can be challenging to make changes which really last; it requires patience and a willingness to be open and sometimes vulnerable. However, the rewards for taking this journey can be profound and life-changing.

Hello, I'm Laura. I am a warm and compassionate therapist who will listen to your concerns with sensitivity and without judgement. I offer a confidential, supportive environment where you can freely express and 'unburden' yourself. Somewhere you will feel truly 'heard'. I work relationally, which means I believe that the ability to build a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship with you will form the foundation of our work together.

Has your relationship hit a sticking point? Are you struggling to communicate with your partner or arguing more frequently? Maybe you have difficulty trusting following infidelity. You're just not connecting or enjoying each other like you used to? No matter what the trigger point for your difficulties we can work together to improve your communication, rebuild trust, increase quality time, or get your physical intimacy back on track. Or you might be an indiviudal suffering from anxiety and low self-confidence. Constantly worrying, on edge, or engaging in compulsive behaviour.

Hello and welcome. I suspect if you have come across this page it is because you hold some interest in engaging in therapy. Everyone will have their own reason as to why that is the case. I am a chartered psychologist, trained to Doctoral level, with over 10 years experience working in mental health. I believe that everyone has mental health, however, I believe, it occurs a long a spectrum, at varying different degrees and causing varying levels of distress to an individual. Thus, I see my clients as individuals with their own voice, their own story and their own experience of mental health.

Some of the issues I work with are; relationships - the way we connect and attach to others, self esteem, sexual issues and health for both men and women, parenting concerns, addiction, codependence, anxiety in it's many forms, depression, loss of meaning and purpose in life, suicidal thoughts, career/work stress, loss/bereavement, LGBTQ+ issues.

As we continue to live our lives day after day sometimes this journey can begin to feel like an up hill climb. I am here to listen to any worries, concerns or difficulties you may be experiencing. Are you struggling to cope with a loss, whether it be a bereavement, a relationship, a job or just feeling that your life is passing you by and it is not working out how you had hoped. Sometimes we may find it hard to talk to or confide in our friends and loved ones, worried about upsetting them and not wanting to burden them or perhaps you fear being judged or may think that your problems are not as bad as theirs.

You may be feeling that your emotions and symptoms are taking over your life or that you feel overwhelmed by everyday living. By seeking help, you are taking the first step to address these challenges head on and find the right kind of support for you. This will enable you to develop your own skills and expertise to be in charge, your way. Taking time to invest in your own well-being is important but can be tough, so I aim to support you in making positive change using therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs.
