About me

Hello and welcome to Enso Counselling and Psychotherapy. My name is Laura and I offer a space where you can slow down, feel heard and simply be yourself, in the comfort of your own safe place either online or over the phone.  

Sometimes life feels heavy, even when on the outside everything looks fine. You might find yourself smiling through the day while inside you carry anxiety, shame, or a quiet belief that you’re not good enough and somehow don't fit in. You may often feel misunderstood, unseen or dismissed and you notice it affects you more and more. These feelings can be exhausting to hold on your own, can make you feel alone and isolated, and are often hard to put into words. In our sessions, you don’t have to hide them. This is a space where you can let the mask slip and be fully yourself, even in the parts you’ve learned to keep hidden.

I listen with warmth and curiosity, helping you gently explore the roots of anxiety and self-criticism, and how they’ve shaped how you see yourself. Together we can make sense of what’s felt too much to face alone and begin to nurture a kinder, more accepting relationship with yourself. Over time, many people notice a softening of shame and anxiety, and a growing sense of self-worth, acceptance and ease.

That’s why I chose the name Enso: the circle, drawn in a single brushstroke, is never perfect yet always whole. It reminds us that our value isn’t in being flawless, but in being fully human.

To help you get a sense of what working with me feels like, I offer a no obligation, free 25-minute introductory online or telephone call.

Training, qualifications & experience

I’m registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
