Hello, I'm Laura, a therapist who works with people who’ve learned to cope by pushing themselves, over thinking or trying to stay in control. Rather than just focusing on symptoms, we’ll look at the bigger picture; the patterns that may have developed over time, the triggers that activate them, and the factors that keep you stuck. In therapy, we focus on building emotional tolerance, managing your inner critic and helping you develop a more compassionate, realistic relationship with yourself.
As an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, I draw upon my clinical training and experience in CBT, compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT). I strive to adapt my approach to your unique needs by offering the tools and compassion you need to overcome your difficulties.
When you feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or unsettled by uncertainty, it is important that you are genuinely heard and understood within a supportive therapeutic space. Approaching your experiences with empathy and care, means that your emotions can begin to feel less frightening and more manageable.

I specialise in working with clients who struggle with their body image, have disordered eating or an eating disorder, self-criticism and feel overwhelmed by their emotions and uncertainty. I help clients make sense of what they're feeling, and gradually build greater tolerance for uncertainty. Together, we can focus on building emotional tolerance and manage your inner critic.
