Hello and welcome!

​

I'm Laura, a Chartered Psychologist and Integrative Counsellor committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore and address your challenges. My practice combines psychotherapy and holistic behaviour change strategies to support your journey toward positive well-being.

 

With a Doctorate in Psychology and a MSc in Health Psychology, I specialise in helping individuals manage long-term health conditions, including neurological autoimmune disorders. My research has been published in respected academic journals, and you can explore it further on the research page.

​

Over the past 12 years, I have had the privilege of working in diverse settings, including university mental health services, MIND (a mental health charity), schools across the Midlands, YMCA, NHS, and mental health start-ups. I have also shared my expertise as a guest lecturer at various universities, focusing on the impacts of stress on neurological and physiological health.

​

As a pluralistic practitioner, I tailor therapy to suit your unique needs, drawing from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and more.

​

In addition, I trained as a Chartered Coaching Psychologist. Coaching Psychology emphasises goal-setting, motivation, and behaviour change to enhance personal and professional performance. Focusing on strengths-based approaches, helping individuals build resilience, self-efficacy, and adaptive coping mechanisms.

​

Coaching Psychology also utilises tools like cognitive-behavioural techniques, solution-focused coaching, and positive psychology to support individuals in achieving their potential.

​

I am dedicated to continuous professional development through regular training and supervision. My approach is interactive, proactive, and solution-focused, offering a confidential, non-judgmental space to work through emotional challenges, distressing thoughts, and relationship concerns.

​

Working in a relational way, we will work together to deepen your self-awareness and develop practical tools to cultivate healthier thought patterns and behaviours. This approach focuses on creating a strong, collaborative, and genuine connection between the practitioner and client.

​

The relationship itself becomes a vehicle for change, offering a safe space where trust, understanding, and mutual respect foster meaningful exploration and development.
