I take a trauma informed approach with clients to explore challenges, historical patterns and behaviours which have impacted us and hold us back. Therapy enables healing, awareness, self empowerment and opportunity to make better choices and to live more fulfilling lives in who we are and who we can be.
I work with the mind, body and feelings holistically to work with the clients potential and personal fulfilment through their own self awareness, guiding them on a journey of self discovery and realisation.
My holistic approach involves taking a psychospiritual perspective. I combine traditional talking therapy with a focus on self compassion, parts work, mindfulness, body/ feelings awareness and inner child work to help clients achieve, emotional balance and freedom within themselves.
Working in partnership with my clients, I create a safe and supportive space to encourage and empower people towards understanding of their history and a discovery of their potential through personal unfoldment.
I work with clients short term or long term on an open ended basis, with a commitment to weekly sessions. We can discuss which is the most suitable for you in your initial session. Regular sessions are 60 minutes and the cost is on a sliding scale.
I follow the UKCP ethical framework and I am happy to show you evidence of professional training and insurance.
No matter what your personal struggle is, counselling and psychotherapy can help you to a greater mastery of who you are and relief from your symptoms. With awareness and insight, we gain power over the feelings that once held us captive.
I'm Laura, a transpersonal psychotherapist and counsellor with a post graduate diploma and Masters in Psychosynthesis Psychology, working in private practice. I also have trained in trauma recovery and Compassion Focused Therapy. For 8 years I have volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Care supporting clients with their grief and bereavement, and as the role of supervisor. I have also worked as a support worker with people who have acute mental illness and trauma.
I have trained with Elaine Aron and have a special interest and experience in working with highly sensitive people. I support them in their overwhelm, sensitivity and deep processing to live healthy and fully engaged lives. I help them to realise their unique qualities of intuition, creativity and spiritual psychic experiences.
I believe that working through your pain, empowers you to find who you truly want to be. I can assist with a range of issues including, anxiety, addiction and dependency, co-dependency, depression, eating disorders, high sensitivity, negative beliefs, trauma (single incident/developmental) self-worth, confidence, loneliness, shame, change and transition, sexuality, relationships, direction, crisis and meaning and bereavement. I am also LGBTQIA friendly.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
