About me

Hi, I’m Laura. I know that it can be difficult to ask for help and hope to provide authentic and genuine support to help make the first sessions of therapy feel a bit easier.

Therapy can be a bit like ripping plaster off to let painful wounds heal, and it can sometimes feel worse before it gets better. I truly understand the importance of finding the right therapist and know that it can sometimes take a few tries before finding the right fit.

I have worked in the field of mental health for many years and have experience supporting young people with trauma, attachment difficulties and anxiety. I am a newly qualified an integrative therapist. I tend to use a person-centred approach but am trained to use CBT and Psychodynamic approaches, my aim is always to help clients feel heard and understood.

Sessions can be online or telephone calls. I also offer walk and talk therapy in various locations across Sheffield, this approach allows clients to benefit from the healing powers of nature and fresh air.
