About Laura

Hi, I’m Laura, a qualified counsellor based in the Warwickshire area, offering private therapeutic support for adults, adolescents, and children. I have experience working with clients from a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities, supporting them through many different challenges, including:

Anxiety and depression, Stress and overwhelm, Self-harm and suicidal thoughts, Personal development and self-esteem, Work-related difficulties, Bereavement and loss, Substance misuse, Developmental trauma and attachment difficulties, Family breakdowns, Adoption and special guardianship, Parenting challenges, Domestic abuse, Peer pressure and identity concerns

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Do you feel like you’re losing control or struggling to cope with everyday life? Perhaps you feel lost and would like someone to help you make sense of your thoughts and emotions.

Therapy can provide a safe, supportive space to explore your struggles, untangle difficult feelings, and help you reconnect with yourself again. You do not have to face things alone.

Working with Adults

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Person-Centred Counselling, enabling me to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and understanding environment where we can work together through any difficulties you may be facing at your own pace. I offer face to face appointments or remote.

I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported. My aim is to offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, helping you gain clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of self.

Working with Children and Adolescents.

I am a specialised child and adolescent therapist, with a strong belief that when children and young people are able to access support early, difficult experiences and trauma are less likely to impact them into adulthood.

I offer a gentle, non-invasive approach, creating a safe and supportive space where trust can develop naturally between myself and the young person. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, helping children and adolescents feel comfortable to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace.

I use a variety of creative materials and therapeutic methods to help young people express and understand what may be happening for them, particularly when emotions can feel difficult to put into words.

Every child and young person is unique, which is why I tailor sessions to meet each individual’s needs. All sessions are child-led, allowing the young person to guide the process in a way that feels safe, empowering, and meaningful to them.
