About me
Hello, my name is Laura. I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience working within the NHS, private and charity sectors.
I specialise in working with adults and young people and work hard to ensure each of my clients is offered thoughtful and individualised care.
I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space to explore life’s difficulties, deepen understanding and support meaningful change.
An initial conversation can help understand areas you may feel stuck and your hopes for therapy. Get in touch if you would like to discuss the possibility of working together and we can arrange a free 20 minute phone consultation, which can help guide the next step in the process.
