About me
Find Yourself Again Through Personal Counselling
It can be so hard to walk into a counselling room, to start exploring the parts of ourselves that we’ve hidden or shied away from, to open those boxes we’ve kept closed and locked, but together we can do it, at your pace, in the way that works for you.
It’s ok to be worried, scared or unsure, you’re not alone.
I am Laura Wright (dip.couns MBACP), a BACP registered trauma informed integrative counsellor with experience in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, dissociative disorders, PTSD, domestic violence and abuse, childhood sexual abuse and the distress of overwhelming life changes, and together we can find ways to manage symptoms, reconnect disassociated emotions and explore life events, work through fear, shame, anger and blame and help you to find acceptance in yourself.
I have experience working with children and adults, working from a humanistic perspective, with elements of creativity and CBT.
Working humanistically means that I understand that you are the expert on your life, I’m not here to judge you or diagnose you, instead I will walk with you, stand with you, and hear you.
Dependant on what you want and need, I may use techniques from various theories to support our work together, including working with grounding and stabilisation techniques to ensure that you feel safe during deeper work, looking at how your experiences impact your day-to-day life, considering your inner child and their voice, looking at the cycles you follow and how they can be broken, any many others, all whilst working with you reflectively and empathically at your pace.

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.
