About me and my therapy practice
Hello, my name is Laura. I support adults and couples to healthily manage symptoms of disconnection, anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, and relational issues within the family. I work with trauma and have quite a few, different tools to help you resolve it.
When distraction is no longer an option and you want to resolve what is troubling you, I am here for you.
I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to help you process and understand your challenges and offer practical tools to manage them.
I have worked as a counsellor within the NHS, before setting up in private practice. I now hire a private office in Charlton - with air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities! :)
Email me today and let's find a way forward together!
Practice description
The way I work is relationally helping my clients to notice and to clarify to themselves and others what it is that they feel and need, without judgement.
It starts with perceiving cues from the body, so the present moment focus on emotional mapping is important. This leads to emotional intelligence.
I help to name relationship patterns that I notice in the client-therapist relationship, to help the client deepen their personal awareness in their relationships. Reflecting together on patterns is what usually helps us all get unstuck, if we can face it in a safe environment.
I love working with the nervous system and teaching my clients about what it is and how it works. I often offer an exercise or practical experiment to help consolidate new knowledge.
