Counselling in Saint Ives

I've been working with people for over 20 years, joining them in sense-making journeys that allow them to live more content and meaningful lives. My focus is to help people explore their thoughts, emotions and past to alleviate difficult states or obstacles to their wellbeing. When people understand what drives their behaviour and reconnect with lost parts of themselves, they can reengage in positive relationships and feel they can own their life. Symptoms like anxiety, depression or a sense of futility and unhappiness are usually linked to past experience and therapy can facilitate a safe frame to revisit them.

Hello, I can provide you with a confidential and supportive space where you can express issues that you might not feel comfortable doing so anywhere else.

When growing up and later in life we develop various coping mechanisms, which allow us to function and get on with our lives. However, our life circumstances change and we also keep changing but sometimes we continue to use the same coping mechanisms, which instead of helping us, become barriers to our development and self-fulfilment. Our inner discourse may become stuck in rigid views of ourselves, we can repeat unhelpful patterns of behaviour and become unable to escape our daily mental confinements. We live in a very fast-paced society, which through its competitiveness pushes us to be better and more efficient every day.

Counseling cannot change your past, difficult experiences, or current situation, but it can help you understand them and gain a different perspective. Your future can be whatever you want it to be.

I love working with people and I enjoy helping them. I believe that each human being is capable of making changes in his/her life if he/she wants to. I am willing to help people to increase their self-awareness, to find their skills, motivation and willpower to set their goals and fulfil their dreams. I am an Accredited BACP counsellor (MBACP).

Even the strongest of us need help and support, and therapy is not meant to “fix” someone but to help them discover their full potential, this is my philosophy. Therapy is like a journey that the therapist and the client undertake together to explore the best options, with the client being the expert in their lives. Nobody knows better our life and what does it mean to be us than ourselves. Therapy is there to act as a guide for these explorations. And it is a privilege for the therapist to be part of this very personal journey and to share her knowledge and expertise, enabling in this way the change for a better life.

I will help you to identify negative behaviour and thoughts and develop new, more positive methods to deal with stress and mental discomfort, gain more confidence and self-esteem, and create a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Hello, I'm Laura, a dedicated psychotherapist specializing in anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. My approach is rooted in warmth and approachability, creating an environment where you can feel heard, understood, and free from judgment.

Together, we can collaborate on strategies to make the tough moments more manageable

If you wish you understood yourself more, are feeling directionless right now and are finding it hard to express your needs to somebody who will really listen, then I am here for you. When distraction is no longer an option and you want or need to face what is troubling you, do reach out. I can help you if you dislike yourself, find emotions difficult to manage or struggle with relationships. We can work towards identifying your patterns of relating to yourself and to others, with compassion. We can identify your personal goals and your resources, learn and rehearse new ways of relating, that will get you what you want from life.

You might be experiencing a sense of overwhelm, as if you've hit rock bottom, with pressures from every angle, making it challenging to navigate through each day. Maybe you have lost someone and are still struggling to come to terms with the loss. Or maybe you don’t feel happy in the relationship/s you’re in or in your job but you don't know how to find your way out or how to improve it. Perhaps something happened in your life and you’re struggling to make sense of it or maybe you don’t feel good about yourself or you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Maybe you have tried everything to help yourself but nothing worked.

Choosing a counsellor is a daunting task. Most of us use the same language to describe what we do and how we do it, making it even harder to decide. I have been there, and I learnt that choosing a few counsellors to have an initial meeting with, is a good place to start. This way, you get a flavour of how your work with that person will look like. I invite you to book a free exploratory session with me and decide afterwards if we are a good fit.
