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 wellbeing.​

 

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.​

 

As a pluralistic practitioner, I work from a trauma-informed perspective and draw on the principles of attachment theory to understand and support your unique needs. I integrate a range of evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to create a flexible and collaborative space where we can explore what matters most to you.

 

Our work together is guided by compassion and sensitivity, always moving at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you, supporting meaningful and lasting change.

 

​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.
