Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, I’m Laura, a BACP registered counsellor. As a person-centred counsellor, I believe every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding when given the right environment. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and accepted.
I work in a collaborative way, valuing the knowledge and lived experiences my clients bring to the therapeutic relationship. I see counselling as a joint process, where I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental presence while empowering clients to explore their own feelings and make choices that feel right for them.
My experience includes supporting individuals facing a range of challenges, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, as well as self-esteem and confidence issues. I recognise the unique impact these experiences can have on people’s lives, and I am committed to offering a calm, grounded space where difficult emotions can be explored safely.
At the heart of my practice is a belief in the healing power of connection and understanding. I am dedicated to my own ongoing development, regularly engaging in supervision and reflective practice to ensure I offer the best possible support to those I work with. It is a privilege to accompany people on their journey of self-discovery and personal growth, and I approach each client relationship with warmth, respect, and genuine care.
I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step into therapy. Opening up to someone new can feel daunting, and it takes courage to be vulnerable. My aim is always to offer a warm, welcoming space where clients feel safe enough to go at their own pace, without pressure or judgement.

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or coping with life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major advantage of remote sessions is flexibility – you can connect with a therapist in the way that suits you best, whether by video call, phone, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity of care.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if you decide you would prefer a different therapeutic fit you can switch practitioners at any time. Online therapy offers a practical and accessible option for many people seeking support.
