Trauma-informed therapy to help you heal, build confidence and strengthen your relationships

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the past, struggling in your relationships, questioning your self-worth, or supporting a young person through life’s challenges, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes it’s anxiety that never seems to switch off. Sometimes it’s a relationship that feels distant or caught in the same painful patterns. Sometimes it’s the impact of past experiences that continue to shape how you feel about yourself and others.

Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to slow down, understand what’s beneath the surface, and begin moving towards lasting change.

Whether you’re an adult seeking support, a couple wanting to reconnect, or a young person looking for someone to talk to, I’ll meet you with warmth, curiosity and respect, working at a pace that feels right for you.

My Areas of Focus

While I support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, my practice has a particular focus on:

Trauma Recovery

Helping you gently process childhood, developmental and relational trauma, so the past no longer defines your present.

Couples & Relationship Counselling

Supporting couples to improve communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection and navigate life’s challenges together. I also work with individuals wanting to better understand relationship patterns and attachment.

Self-Esteem & Confidence

Helping you move beyond self-doubt, limiting beliefs and people-pleasing, so you can reconnect with your strengths and feel more confident in yourself and your decisions.

Young People & Teenagers

Providing a safe, supportive space where young people can explore anxiety, confidence, friendships, school pressures, identity and emotional wellbeing.

I also support people experiencing:

  • Anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm
  • Grief, bereavement and other significant losses
  • Overthinking and inner conflict
  • Feeling stuck, disconnected or emotionally numb
  • Life transitions and periods of change
  • Burnout and emotional exhaustion
  • Fear-based phobias, including flying, public speaking and social fears
  • Low mood and loss of motivation
  • Personal growth and self-discovery

How I Work

I believe therapy is most effective when it’s built on trust, safety and a genuine therapeutic relationship. That’s why I offer a free, no-obligation discovery call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, explore what you’re looking for and see whether we’re the right fit.

Every person and every relationship is unique, so I tailor therapy to your individual needs. Depending on what feels most appropriate, we may work through counselling, hypnotherapy or an integrative blend of approaches.

Whether you’re coming as an individual, a couple or a young person, my aim is always the same: to create a warm, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood and supported as we work towards meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to face this alone. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Testimonial

“I feel more empowered when looking at the future…”

“I am a 53-year-old male who has lived with anxiety and depression for over 20 years, at times it has become overwhelming and incredibly difficult to manage even with the help from my GP, medication, family and friends. I’ve completed 6 sessions of hypnotherapy with Laura to help with my anxiety. Her assessment was very thorough where she discovered details of my past in an empathetic and professional way. She was very insightful and created a bespoke script for myself which cleverly picked up on certain things to help with my anxiety. I’m grateful for the sessions and feel it has made a big impact on how I manage my emotional health. My anxiety levels have decreased, and I feel more empowered when looking at the future”
