About me
Hi, I'm Dr Laura Williams. I am a clinical psychologist and founder of a thriving online psychology practice, which can see people remotely across the UK. I specialise in the treatment of trauma and the symptoms arising from it. I have featured in both Channel 4 and ITV documentaries which focussed on the treatment of morbid obesity.
Therapy is an investment. It takes effort and time and you must be ready. Being committed, ensures you get the most out of your therapeutic experience. The commitment that I ask for, is mirrored back to you. I work weekly to build a therapeutic relationship that is grounded in trust. I am straight talking and get transformative results for my clients.
If you believe you're ready to make psychologically informed changes, please get in touch with me. I offer free 15 minute consultation calls to ensure we are a good therapeutic fit.
