I’m Laura, a Person-Centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I appreciate the depth in conversation, the discoveries in silence, authentic and trust-filled relationships, witnessing somebody make unexpected revelations about themselves, and the bravery it takes to speak one’s truth.

My path to becoming a counsellor started in Bristol, where I studied for a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and gained an understanding of theory, research and the application of psychological science. Since then, I completed a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Keele University, focusing on theory and therapeutic skills, and I graduated with distinction.

I work in private practice, have volunteered with Macmillan Cancer Support for those affected by cancer, provided support in my community for Mind (a mental health charity), and have been part of a counselling team at a women’s refuge.

I often work with those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and hold space for differing intersections of identity. My practice is heart-centred, feminist and queer.

As a member of the BACP, I participate in regular supervision, take part in continued training, and work within their ethical framework. I am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and have practice insurance.

My studies, work, and practice in Person-Centred Therapy have shown me the magic (and potency) of paying attention to the present moment, the power of staying with experience without attempting to change it, and the importance of having a space to feel seen, heard and understood.
