Counselling in Eastbourne

We all go through some difficulties in life. Asking for help can be difficult , finding the right support can be even more of a challenge. As an Integrative Therapist, I use different modalities to fit my clients' needs, learning curves and communications styles, personalities and states of mind. I also adapt to fit my clients' physical health, integrating body and mind work within the process of change. I believe we can all benefit from the therapeutic relationship. it can be helpful when dealing with difficulties and as a boost to reach our full potential. I can also be a place and time to manage mental hygiene and general health.

Having experienced at first hand the hugely positive impact counselling has had on my own life, I chose to train as a psychodynamic therapist to help others experience the same profound benefits. I now use an integrative approach, which has enriched my work with clients. Working with you, we will together examine and uncover often unconscious or repressed memories which in turn can drive unhelpful patterns of behaviour. We will explore the sources of your problems and aim to deal with the underlying issues, not just try to find a way to cope with them. Only by making peace with the past can you look forward to a happy future.

Parfois on traverse des périodes de changements et difficultés affectives et relationnelles qui nous causent du stress et chagrin. Il arrive aussi d'éprouver un malaise qu'on ne comprend pas et qui se manifeste sous forme d'anxiété ou baisse d'humeur. ​ On peut decider d'entamer ce parcours afin de pouvoir améliorer nostre vie, notre confiance en nous memes, et les relations avec les autres. Mon but est de vous accompagner et de vous soutenir, quelle que soit l’étape dans laquelle vous vous trouvez.

Psychologue clinicienne, psychothérapeute et psychanalyste française installée à Londres et Oxford, je reçois dans mon cabinet des adultes, des enfants et des adolescents pour un soutien psychologique ou une psychothérapie en français. Je propose également des cures analytiques si vous souhaitez faire un travail psychanalytique. Des séances en visio consultation sont également possibles pour les adultes. J'anime également à Oxford des ateliers d'écriture thérapeutique et créative.

Vous avez beaucoup plus de pouvoir de changer pour le mieux que vous ne le pensez. Il y a énormément d’indices dans ce qui se passe dans le processus thérapeutique. Ce qui est très important est que nous ayons un bon rapport, que vous vous sentiez en sécurité avec moi tout en acceptant les défis qui font partie de notre travail ensemble. Ce qui compte énormément est que vous puissiez être le/la plus honnête possible pour que nous puissions avancer dans notre travail.je ne suis pas là pour vous juger mais pour explorer et surmonter ensemble les obstacles dans votre vie.

Voulez-vous comprendre pourquoi vous agissez toujours comme vous le faites ? Il vous semble parfois que votre comportement suit des schémas répétitifs et vous aimeriez pouvoir le changer, mais vous avez tendance à retomber toujours dans les mêmes ornières ? Pourquoi ne pas commencer par le commencement et essayer de comprendre ce qui se passe ?

La therapies de la famille ’est une thérapie qui s’intéresse aux relations et aux interactions entre les membres d’une même famille. Elle s’adresse généralement aux parents dont un enfant présente un symptôme inquiétant (difficultés d’endormissement, cauchemars, troubles alimentaires, drogue…). Ce symptôme sera interprété comme le révélateur d’une souffrance ou d’une difficulté de la famille dans son ensemble et non comme le problème d’un seul membre."

En tant que thérapeute Humaniste, j’ai la conviction que chaque personne s’efforce de devenir la meilleur version d’elle-même et qu’elle en est capable. Peut-être vous sentez vous anxieux(se), dépassé(e) ou déprimé(e); perdu(e), en quête de sens, traversant des moments difficiles. Ensemble nous pouvons créer un espace sûr et confortable où vous vous sentirez en mesure d’explorer certains aspects de votre identité et d’analyser les défis auxquels vous êtes confronté(e)s; un espace ou nous pourrons revisiter les événements passés et nous tourner vers l’avenir.

At the heart of my work, I strive to create a warm and compassionate space for clients from all walks of life. I work with clients presenting with various challenges including relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, anxiety and low mood. I also have experience working with complex mental health and co-morbid difficulties, including trauma and childhood abuse. Whether your issue feels vague or specific, therapy can help you understand how the past informs current patterns, develop coping skills to process difficult feelings, and nurture the internal strengths and resources that we all hold.

I’m accredited as a Clinical Psychologist and registered with the HCPC. I provide EMDR therapy for traumatic incidents and CBT and ACT for anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience from the NHS and in private practise in supporting those who experience symptoms affecting their emotional wellbeing and I have 18 years of experience in providing relief in privately practise and for the NHS. My training and experience also include supervising professionals and working with groups and families during a crisis and supporting them to manage and overcome their difficulties.

As an integrative practitioner, I am engaging, insightful, curious, respectful, and able to design an individualised treatment that suits your needs. I practice CBT, EMDR, DBT, psychodynamic and integrative therapy. My 12-year clinical experience includes both the private mental health and the NHS, working both in individual and couples therapy. Previously, I had an executive corporate career at Microsoft UK and an MBA from INSEAD. I specialise in working with a spectrum of psychological issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, OCD, PTSD, low mood, low self-esteem, addiction, burnout, divorce and relationship issues.

My Clients over the last 18 years have ranged from having simple symptoms ( i.e. sleep disturbances, anxiety about interviews or social anxiety ) to severe symptoms (i.e. severe depression, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality or sexual abuse). My clients are looking for tools that will help them reduce or eliminate those symptoms but they are also wanting to develop long term functional habits that will help them lead a healthier life. Most of my clients are highly functional but they are struggling with emotional issues in their relationships with childhood abuse, addictions, fears, self-esteem and others.

Each person is unique and distinctive and therefore one approach may not fit them all. I place the client-therapist relationship at the heart of an effective therapeutic process providing an honest and non-judgmental stance where your feelings can be expressed and contained in a safe and confidential setting. You might want to make sense of the past and explore how it can sometimes be reconstructed in the present or you might seek to get back in touch with your real self through acceptance and a better mind-body connection.

Hi! I'm Laura, a Clinical Psychologist trained in the UK and based at The Oak Tree Practice and Little Bee Clinic in Finchley, London. I appreciate that choosing a psychologist can be a tricky task so am always happy to have a chat before agreeing to meet! I believe therapy is an active process where we work together to really make a difference to your life, whether that be by managing difficult thoughts and feelings, to taking action to improve challenges you’re experiencing. Therapy can also be useful to help you better understand how your mind works & why you are the way you are!

Whether you are having momentary difficulties or are facing long-standing challenges, starting therapy can feel daunting. My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive space to explore a range of difficulties including low mood and depression, OCD, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, as well as challenges within relationships.
