Welcome to Therapy by Laura

Life starts to change when you start to change.

Who Am I

A very warm welcome to my website. My name is Laura and I have been a qualified counsellor for over 8 years. I have endeavoured to create a unique space which is safe, honest and transparent. I'm a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working in Epsom. I offer one-to-one therapy both short and long term basis. In the past I have worked with various mental health and life issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, lack of motivation, self esteem, attachment issues, suicidal thoughts, PTSD and much more.

The Sessions

There may be various reasons why you have chosen to seek therapy and reaching out can seem like a huge step. My aim is to offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment, helping individuals become aware of their inner strengths. Together we can recognise and work on unhelpful patterns, thoughts and feelings. Identifying these can be a great first step towards change, helping you to lead a happier and more fulfilled life. I will listen, guide and help you through your concerns, working through them at a pace that feels right for you.

Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counselling I am are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life. I do this by offering various different techniques and stratergies. Together we can start to explore past and present patterns which maybe keeping you stuck.

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Bereavement, grief and loss

Dealing with a loss can be an extremely difficult process. It can cause complete disruption and chaos in peoples lives. Grief is complicated, is unique to each individual, can leave you confused and overwhelmed with emotions. Together we can start to explore some of these feelings, acknowledging the pain, working towards the acceptance and adjustment of life without the person. Remember everyone deals with grief differently so have patience and allow yourself time to deal with the thoughts, feeling and emotions in a way that feels right for you.

Therapy for young People

Having worked with young people for many years I am able to recognise and understand the struggles they experience, the difficulties in expressing their emotions in a healthy way and the changes they encounter. Building a foundation of trust is essential for my work with young people as it allows them to fully open up and explore the problems they're facing. If necessary we can work in a more creative way, as verbal communication can sometimes be a challenge for the young person. It's important to find a style that feels right for the individual so they feel safe and understood.
