About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I'm Laura.

When things feel difficult to manage, therapy can help build awareness, understanding, self-compassion and positive change into your life. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and trustworthy space, where we can explore the past to understand the present, making links, exploring thoughts, feelings and patterns and developing coping skills. I am a fully qualified and experienced BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of various counselling associations.

I specialise in working with; low mood and depression, worries and anxiety, intrusive thoughts and compulsive responses, trauma and neurodiversity differences. Whilst exploring issues I integrate various counselling approaches and tools alongside emotion regulation and distress tolerance CBT and DBT tools that can create a sense of empowerment, hope and support.

I have a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Skills and Theory (CBT) qualification.

Practice description

For clients who would like face to face sessions, I work from a private therapy room in West Christchurch. The therapy room benefits from air-conditioning and heating. It's close to the Wessex Way (A338) and accessible by public transport from Bournemouth, Poole, West Hampshire and surrounding areas.

For clients who would like video sessions, I work internationally from a private and confidential space on the secured and encrypted, online platform Zoom. I am certified in online counselling and a professional member of ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online).
