About me

Welcome, I’m Laura. I’m an integrative counsellor offering confidential therapy online.

I believe therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about having a safe, compassionate space where you can be truly heard, make sense of what you’re going through and begin to understand what you need.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. You are the expert in your own life, and I’ll work alongside you, drawing on different therapeutic approaches to find what feels right for you.

I’m warm, genuine and non-judgemental. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. Sometimes, simply having somewhere safe to start is enough.

I bring over 10 years’ experience across the NHS and private organisations, supporting children, young people, adults and families with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, low self-worth, self-harm, relationships and complex emotional difficulties.

Alongside my clinical work, I have undertaken extensive postgraduate training and am completing my professional doctorate in Counselling Psychology, bringing together psychological knowledge with years of real-world clinical experience.

You don’t have to navigate things alone.

If you feel we might be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.

I currently offer online appointments.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
