Welcome to Therapy by Laura

Life starts to change when you start to change.

Who Am I

Perhaps you’ve spent months, or even years, putting everyone else’s needs before your own. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

Therapy offers you the opportunity to pause, breathe, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface.

My name is Laura, and for over ten years I’ve supported people through some of life’s most challenging moments. I offer a warm, confidential space where you can speak openly without fear of judgement and feel genuinely listened to.

Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, strengthen your understanding of yourself, and help you move towards the life you want to create.

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is ask for help before things become overwhelming.

The Sessions

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming.

You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, stress, or a sense of feeling stuck. Or perhaps, from the outside, everything looks fine, yet something doesn’t feel quite right within you.

Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

I offer a warm, supportive, and confidential space where you can speak openly without fear of judgement. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges you’re facing.

Therapy isn’t about being “fixed” — because you aren’t broken. It’s about creating space to be heard, understood, and supported. Through our work together, you can begin to develop greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence in navigating life’s challenges.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs and moves at a pace that feels right for you. There is no pressure, no expectations, and no need to have everything figured out before you begin.

Therapy

Depression & Anxiety

Depression and anxiety are common yet deeply uncomfortable experiences that many people face at different points in their lives. They can affect how you think, feel, and relate to the world around you, often leaving you feeling overwhelmed, low in motivation, or disconnected from yourself.

Through counselling, I aim to support you in rediscovering a sense of balance, clarity, and emotional steadiness. By working together, we can gently explore both past and present experiences, helping you understand the patterns that may be contributing to how you feel and keeping you feeling stuck.

Using a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to you, therapy can offer a space to build coping strategies, regain perspective, and reconnect with a sense of hope and direction.

Relationships & Attachment

Relationships can be a source of deep connection, but they can also bring confusion, pain, and emotional uncertainty. You may find yourself struggling with trust, boundaries, communication, or patterns that repeat across relationships — whether with partners, family members, or others close to you.

Attachment experiences, often shaped early in life, can influence how safe you feel with others, how you express your needs, and how you respond to closeness or distance. These patterns can show up as fear of abandonment, difficulty letting people in, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected even within relationships.

In therapy, we can explore these experiences together in a safe and supportive space. By gently understanding your relational patterns and where they come from, you can begin to develop healthier, more secure ways of relating — both to others and to yourself.

Bereavement, grief and loss

Experiencing a loss can be one of the most painful and destabilising times in life. Grief can affect every part of you — emotionally, mentally, and physically — and may leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, or unsure how to move forward.

Grief is deeply personal and looks different for everyone. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and no set timeframe for healing. In therapy, we can explore your feelings together, allowing space for the pain while supporting you as you begin to adjust to life following your loss.

At your own pace, we can work towards finding meaning, acceptance, and a way of carrying your loss that feels manageable and authentic to you.

Self-Esteem, Identity & Life Transitions

There are times in life when you may feel disconnected from yourself, uncertain about who you are, or lacking confidence and self-worth. You might find yourself stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling with relationships, or feeling lost during periods of change or transition.

These experiences can be deeply unsettling and may impact how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how you move through the world. In therapy, we can gently explore these feelings together, helping you gain greater understanding of yourself and the experiences that have shaped you.

Through a supportive and collaborative process, I aim to help you build self-compassion, clarity, and a stronger sense of self, allowing you to move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.
