About me
Welcome, and thank you for considering this space for your journey.
My name is Laura, and I’m a 45-year-old counsellor based in Dorset. I’m deeply passionate about supporting others, and before becoming a counsellor, I worked in a caring role within the Education sector. My approach to counselling is grounded in empathy and understanding, and I welcome people from all walks of life and backgrounds, offering a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and accepted without the pressure of advice or expectations.
As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, my work is informed by a variety of therapeutic approaches. I tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each person, using the method that best suits you. I am a member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework, ensuring that my practice remains safe, ethical, and supportive at all times.
I work with a wide range of mental health concerns, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and sexual issues, neurodiversity, bereavement, and domestic and sexual abuse. Whatever you're facing, I am here to support you through it with compassion and respect.

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.
