About me
Hi, I'm Laura, a qualified counsellor based in Medway, also working online and by phone. I work under my counselling practice name of Peace in Mind Therapeutic Counselling.
What to expect when you start counselling with me
I'm a person-centred counsellor, meaning I'll value and accept you as a person, I'll listen to understand what life is like for you and I won't hold judgements about you.
First we'll have a free consultation call, where I'll ask you some questions to help me understand your reasons for seeking counselling. It'll also be a chance for you to ask me questions, to ensure I'm the right counsellor for you. If you decide to go ahead, we'll arrange your first session and agree how we will work together.
My experience and what I can help you with
I've outlined below some of my areas of experience, showing how we might be able to work together...
I have experience of working with people who have a sight impairment, people who are neurodivergent (mainly ADHD and/or Autism) and people living with long term health conditions. Together we can explore one or more of these things, or you may want to explore another issue, but with someone who will be understanding of who you are and any particular needs you may have.
I have personal experience of supporting a close family member through cancer. If you're supporting or caring for a family member or friend, we can explore your feelings about their situation, and also the impact it may be having on your life and your responsibilities.
I am trained in trauma-focused therapy. If you are looking to process one or more traumatic / distressing experiences we can use a range of techniques to help with this, including managing the emotions and feelings you're experiencing as a result.
Therapeutic work doesn't always have to mean talking. If you're finding it hard to put into words how you feel, we can find some creative ways to help move things forward. Together, we'll make sense of your feelings.
Options for sessions
I offer face to face counselling in Medway (ME8, Gillingham / Rainham) and virtual sessions by phone or video call. Sessions are 50 minutes long. I generally recommend weekly sessions, but can also accommodate fortnightly if that suits you better.
