Greetings! I’m Lowra (Laura), embracing the Welsh spelling of my name. As a Cis-gender woman, my journey in the field of mental health is rooted in the belief that the most profound knowledge one can possess is self-awareness—a sentiment beautifully captured by the Welsh Proverb, “The best knowledge is to know yourself.”
My role is to guide and support you on your healing journey. I believe you are the expert in your own life and use a person-centered philosophy to create a collaborative and nonjudgmental space. I will tailor my approach to your unique needs, helping you tap into your inner resources for personal growth.
I know reaching out for help can be difficult, but you don't have to do this alone. I’m here to offer a supportive space where you can explore what's on your mind without judgment. Together, we can create a plan tailored to your unique needs, helping you move toward a life of greater well-being. Your journey to healing is just a conversation away.
