About me
Who knows what is going on inside your mind better than you? You are the expert on you and therapy with me helps you to connect the parts of you that are unhelpful and move them from outside your awareness to your conscious mind. Once you become aware of them, we can work to enable you to challenge, nurture, adjust, modify and heal them allowing you opportunity to accomplish significant lasting change.
I am Laura an integrative counsellor. Being integrative allows me to use many different theories and methodologies to give you insights and tools to help you to grow and change within. I believe the counselling relationship we will build is key to great growth for you, the trust given to me by my clients returns immense benefit to them.
I work with Neurodiversity, helping people to not only understand what is going on within them but also where they fit in the wider world. Making sense of difference and diversity for someone who is outside looking in can be tough, painful, lonely and exhausting, often the frustration is turned internally.
I love working with children and young people, offering a playful, nurturing, empathetic place for them to bring whatever they need. Children and young people find non-confrontational, more relaxed sessions and perhaps for shorter periods of time easier – therapy is hard work!
I work alongside an LGBTQ+ charity and have many clients within this group. I have training in this area but would also not want to assume this is why a person is coming to see me.
There is no judgment or bias from me, I see the client before me, not for what they are, what they have done or their shame but an amazing person who is capable of monumental change. If you want to talk and work on yourself, I want to listen and work with you.

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.
