Maria (Laura) Launder
Email meAbout me
Hello, my name is Laura and I am a fully qualified counsellor/psychotherapist. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and I adhere to their code of ethics. I have my own private practice which I run from my home.
I facilitate a safe non judgmental environment where you can explore any issues you may need support with. I am aware that it can be difficult to seek help but this can be the first step to a journey of self discovery. I believe in change and helping my clients to achieve their full potential through a therapeutic relationship that offers empathy, respect and unconditional positive regards.
I have experience working with addictions, I have also worked with young people in a school setting and have been counselling privately from home ever since.
