About me
Hi, my name is Laura I am a qualified and experienced person-centred counsellor in Caergwrle, North Wales. I am passionate about supporting people who are finding it difficult to cope with things such as (but not limited to) grief, loss, change, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, trauma, addiction, and relationships.
My approach is rooted in qualities of compassion, trustworthiness, dedication, and a steadfast commitment to helping individuals manage their emotional and mental well-being. My mission is to accompany you on your journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
While I primarily practice person-centred therapy, I'm open to incorporating elements from various therapeutic approaches, such as CBT and creative therapies, to address the specific needs of each client. I firmly believe that there's no one-size-fits-all solution and that everyone has the potential to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Within my practice, I offer a secure, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, make sense of life's complexities, and develop strategies for coping with emotional challenges. I understand the profound impact that counselling can have when pursued at the right time and with the right counsellor.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor. I hold a level 5 diploma in counselling from Wrexham University, referred to as Dip HE in Counselling. I also complete regular continuous professional development (CPD) to ensure my skills and knowledge are kept up to date with the latest developments in counselling.
I am a registered member of the BACP (registration number 404714). This means I agree to be bound by the BACP Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions and their Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.
