About me
Hi and welcome to Talk Feel Heal Therapy. I'm Laura a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I help people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected from themselves develop self-awareness, emotional clarity, and a stronger sense of who they are.
Our work together will help you move from feeling lost, stuck, or hopeless to feeling more grounded, insightful, and at peace within yourself.
I offer a safe, confidential, supportive, and trauma informed space where we can gently explore your inner world together and help you find a way forward.
I bring decades of experience working with both young people and adults, supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties.
My philosophy is simple, yet deeply effective: by talking and feeling, we heal.
While this may sound straightforward, many people find it challenging to slow down, connect with their emotions, and explore what lies beneath the surface. This is where my role and expertise come in. I will gently guide and support you to safely explore your inner world, including conscious and subconscious beliefs, thoughts, and feelings and how these shape your behaviours, relationships, and experience of the world around you.
Together, we will identify and make sense of unresolved issues, creating space for understanding, integration, and change. This process can help you develop deeper self-awareness, confidence, self-worth, clarity, and focus.
My core training is person-centred, however my approach is integrative, drawing on a range of therapeutic theories, professional experience, and ongoing training and development. I work flexibly and tailor therapy to the unique needs of each individual client.
I have undertaken extensive training throughout my 20+ years social work and psychotherapy career, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to work safely, compassionately, and in a trauma-informed way with a wide range of individuals and presenting issues.
I have particular experience supporting people who are struggling with:
- Anxiety and depression
- Relationship difficulties
- Parental and family issues
- Loss of self and identity concerns
- Life transitions and periods of change
- Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
- Adoption, fostering, and lived experience of local authority care

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.
