What Laura helps with

Depression

  • Depression can dull energy, motivation, and hope. Laura helps you:
  • Understand the patterns behind low mood and loss of interest
  • Untangle harsh self-talk and perfectionism
  • Reconnect with meaning, routine, and small wins
  • Build supportive habits that last beyond therapy

Anxiety

  • Whether it’s constant worry, panic, or “what if” spirals, anxiety is exhausting. Together you’ll:
  • Map triggers and reduce the power of anxious loops
  • Learn practical strategies for calming your body and mind
  • Strengthen boundaries and reduce avoidance
  • Rebuild confidence in everyday life

Trauma

Trauma isn’t only about “big events.” Ongoing stress, neglect, and relational hurts can leave deep marks. Laura offers:

  • A steady, safe space without pressure to relive details
  • Gentle grounding skills to settle the nervous system
  • Work that restores a sense of choice, safety, and self-trust
  • Support to reshape how past experiences affect the present

Relationship issues

Strained communication, repeating arguments, or feeling unseen can wear you down. Sessions can help you:

  • Recognise patterns that keep you stuck
  • Communicate needs clearly and kindly
  • Heal people-pleasing and rebuild boundaries
  • Navigate separation, grief, dating, or family conflict

General mental health and life transitions

From burnout and overwhelm to identity changes and big decisions, Laura supports you to:

  • Reduce stress and manage uncertainty
  • Build self-compassion and emotional steadiness
  • Clarify values and next steps
  • Create workable routines that support sleep, energy, and mood

Laura’s conversational method: how sessions feel

Expect a calm, unhurried conversation that centres your experience. Laura will ask thoughtful questions, reflect what she hears, and offer practical tools when they’re useful. You’ll feel guided, not pushed.

In each session you can expect:

  • Space to talk through what’s happening right now
  • Gentle exploration of patterns and beliefs that shape your reactions
  • Simple, realistic ideas to try between sessions
  • Regular check-ins to make sure therapy stays aligned with your goals

Who Laura works with

Laura welcomes adults, teenagers and children from all backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. Her practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally sensitive, and trauma-aware. If you’ve felt misunderstood in other settings, Laura aims to be a place where you don’t have to explain your existence before you can get help.
