About me
I’m Laura, a psychotherapist, counsellor, and parenting coach supporting adults, couples, teenagers, and families through anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and family challenges.
With more than 22 years of experience, I offer practical, supportive therapy that helps people understand what’s happening and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
I specialise in:
- Anxiety
- ADHD
- Separation anxiety
- Teen mental health
- Trauma
- Parenting support
- Family conflict
- Emotional regulation
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Relationship difficulties
- Stress and burnout
I work with both adults and young people who may be struggling with overthinking, panic, emotional shutdown, anger, school stress, friendship issues, low confidence, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed.
How I Work
My approach is warm, practical, honest, and non-judgemental. I combine psychotherapy, counselling, coaching, and psychology-based strategies to help clients create meaningful change in everyday life - not just inside the therapy room. I use a unique, award-winning In-Touch Coaching (please do message me for more details)
Together we work to:
- Understand the root of emotional struggles
- Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
- Improve emotional regulation
- Build healthier relationships
- Develop confidence and resilience
- Create practical strategies that actually work
- I offer support for individuals, couples, parents, teenagers, and families both online and in person.
Teen & Parent Support
A large part of my work focuses on supporting teenagers and their parents through some of the most challenging stages of adolescence.
This includes support around:
- Anxiety and separation anxiety
- ADHD and neurodivergence (RSD and ODD)
- School refusal and exam stress
- Emotional outbursts and anger
- Friendship difficulties
- Self-esteem and identity struggles
- Trauma and past experiences
- Family communication and conflict
- Alongside my counselling practice, I also founded Parentology World, a specialist service helping parents better understand and support their teenagers.
Author & Speaker
I am also the author of:
- Parenting Unstoppable Girls
- Parenting Teen Boys with Confidence

My work focuses on helping parents better understand adolescent mental health, emotional wellbeing, behaviour, confidence, anxiety, and family relationships in a realistic and compassionate way.
I also speak in schools, workshops, podcasts, and community settings about teen mental health, parenting, emotional wellbeing, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma.
