Laura Gibbons

I am a couple and individual therapist and supervisor with over 15 years' experience, and senior accreditation with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP Snr Accred.) I currently work as therapist and supervisor in private practice in Central London offering in person and online sessions.

I trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist with Relate and Tavistock Relationships (formerly the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships) and am a Graduate Member of the Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology.  I trained as a supervisor with the Society of Analytical Psychology and am a member of the British Association for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Supervision.

I offer supervision online and have worked as a lecturer and tutor on the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Couple Counselling at Tavistock Relationships.

Healthy relationships have a positive impact on many areas of our lives. Yet pressures of work and lifestyle choices, health issues, unexpected crises, redundancy and retirement, the impact of children or infertility, ageing, bereavement and depression, caring for relatives and financial strains as well as our own personal relationship histories, all affect our ability to keep channels of communication with those closest to us open. Therapy offers a space for individuals and couples to explore and reflect on patterns of behaviour which may at times feel stuck, causing frustration, disappointment and unhappiness. In a confidential and non-judgemental environment, I work with my clients to develop and sustain the ability to understand our behaviours, to think about how old patterns affect us and others close to us, and to open up opportunities for better communication and change.
