Laura Palumbo

I am an integrative therapist, drawing on a range of approaches to create a personal and flexible way of working that is shaped collaboratively and responsive to you as an individual.

Each session is tailored to your needs and circumstances, taking into account the many factors that influence your experience, both past and present.

My aim is to offer you a relationship where you feel heard, accepted and able to talk openly. Together, we’ll begin with what feels most important to you.

Within the therapeutic relationship, we’ll explore your experiences, thoughts and feelings and, where it feels important, the past—not to remain there, but to better understand how it may continue to influence the present.

Perhaps one of the most valuable things therapy can offer is the possibility of a different relationship with yourself.

By developing deeper self-understanding and, for many, greater self-acceptance, new possibilities and greater choice in how you respond to life can begin to emerge.

At times, our focus may be on managing the challenges you’re facing right now. Where it feels helpful, we may draw on practical tools and resources to support you between sessions.

Reaching out to someone you don’t know can feel like a big step. While a website can tell you something about how I work, it can’t tell you how it feels to sit together in the room. 

I offer an introductory online or telephone conversation. It gives you the opportunity to experience what it feels like to work together and decide whether it feels like the right fit for you.

Alongside my private practice, I also volunteer as a counsellor with a national mental health charity, supporting adults. 

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, life transitions, self-esteem and a range of other emotional and psychological challenges.

I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy and can be flexible around session frequency.

My practice adheres to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework.
