About me
Hello and welcome - I know that looking through endless counselling profiles can feel overwhelming, so thank you for pausing here and taking the time to explore mine.
I'm Laura, an integrative therapist with additional training in trauma-informed therapy. I truly believe that the heart of effective therapy lies in the relationship - a space where you feel safe, heard, and deeply understood.
As an integrative therapist, I draw primarily from person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. This means our sessions will be shaped by your unique needs, honouring both your present experience and the deeper roots that shape it. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or a general sense of feeling stuck or disconnected, I offer a compassionate, grounding presence.
In our work, we will also pay attention to both the mind and body, inviting awareness and emotional responses to help cultivate a felt sense of safety and reconnection with yourself. Trauma and stress often live in the body as much as the mind - together, we will gently explore ways to bring the two back into balance.
If something in this profile resonates with you, please feel free to get in touch. I am happy to offer a brief initial conversation to help you get a sense of whether I might be the right therapeutic fit. I recognise and understand that taking the first step can often feel hard - I'll meet you there (with no expectation and no pressure).

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.
