About Laura
Her aim is to offer a calm, steady and professional presence where you can explore whatever has brought you to counselling in a safe, confidential space. Laura works at your pace, respecting your autonomy and allowing trust to develop naturally within the therapeutic relationship.
Person-centred philosophy is rooted in the belief that every person is unique, capable of growth and the ‘expert’ in their own experience. Providing the right environment to explore pressures and challenges that can affect everyday life. It means looking beyond the immediate problem and taking time to understand the whole person. We explore what is happening, how it affects you, and what may be happening underneath the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that can sometimes be difficult to manage.
Through greater self-awareness we encourage people to recognise their triggers, understand their responses and identify patterns that may be affecting their work, relationships and wellbeing.
We focus on personal growth, helping individuals build on strengths, develop healthier ways of managing stress and anger, communicate more effectively, and make choices that support positive change. Most importantly we work with you, not on you.
Having gone through her own significant career transition, she brings a genuine interest in people and a deep appreciation of how hard it can be to reach out for support. She has been a client herself and understands the vulnerability this can involve. Laura will never try to ‘fix’ you. Instead, she will sit alongside you as you explore the best way forward, rooted in the belief that you already have the capacity for change given the right environment.
Laura believes meaningful change begins with awareness. She offers gentle but honest challenge where it feels helpful, supporting you to see situations from new perspectives at a pace that feels safe for you.
