About me
I'm Laura. I provide online and telephone counselling for neurodivergent people and the people in their support system - parents and carers, partners, siblings and other loved ones. I have a particular (but not exclusive) interest in working with ASD, ADHD and PDA profiles.
Counselling with me is about exploring change on your own terms, in a way that supports your wellbeing and authenticity—not just fitting into societal expectations. My core training is in person-centred therapy, so I’m committed to truly understanding your perspective—offering you what might be a rare experience of feeling deeply heard and understood. On top of this, I’ve completed extra training in third-wave CBT. This means we can introduce ideas and perspectives from mindfulness, DBT, ACT and CFT into our work together, all of which offer great insights into how we relate to our thoughts and emotions, helping to build self-compassion, emotional fortitude and greater psychological flexibility.
As well as professional counselling qualifications, I have a background in education, including an MEd in Inclusion and SEN. I also have lived experience of my own neurodivergence and supporting neurodivergence in my loved ones. I am also a registered member of the BACP which means I follow and am held accountable to their ethical guidelines.
Sessions can take place online where I can offer a choice of platform from Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and doxy; or over the phone via Whatsapp voice call. I can offer weekly or fortnightly sessions. Sessions are 50 to 60 minutes long and cost £50.
Starting counselling can feel daunting, and online therapy may come with its own uncertainties. The key to successful therapy is finding the right fit, so I offer a free 20-minute call to explore your needs and see if we’re a good match.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
