About me
Welcome, I'm Laura, a CBT therapist dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges using evidence-based techniques and a compassionate, personalised approach.
My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to express themselves and work towards meaningful change.
I bring a wealth of experience supporting adults in a variety of environments, including NHS, council, and government contracts. With over a decade of experience working with young people in secondary schools, I also bring specialised knowledge in neurodivergence.
My focus is on empowering clients to develop effective strategies for managing mental health challenges. I draw on proven methods tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that every session is focused on your goals and personal growth.
My goal is to offer a safe and supportive environment where clients can fully express themselves, gain insight, taking steps towards empowerment, personal growth and acceptance.
I have a compassionate and empathic approach with a natural drive to understand others, make a positive difference in their lives, and support them in achieving their full potential.
I look forward to working with you.
Laura

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
