Laura Wates

Trying to make sense of things can feel hugely overwhelming, whilst making time for yourself may be impossible. A feeling of knowing deep down, things need to be explored.

I believe therapy should provide you with a supportive space to call your own. A space to feel comfortable enough to explore those inner most parts. To unpack, process and try things out. To reflect and reframe. 

I work uniquely. As an integrative therapist, I draw upon different modalities in my work, meaning each therapeutic relationship feels unique.

I believe in creating a space for you to explore and process your narrative freely - without judgement. I work with adults who come to therapy for:

• ADHD and/or ASD
• Neurodivergence
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Attachment
• Trauma
• Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)
• Relationships
• Parenthood
• Post-Natal Depression (PND)
• Burnout
• Help with Executive Functioning (EF) and overwhelm.
  

I specialise in working with clients with ADHD, and work with partners and families who care/support someone with ADHD.

I incorporate breathwork and guided meditations within my work.

Having a lived experience of ADHD and being a mother of two neurodiverse children enables me to support clients with ADHD. 

I believe that working with ADHDers in a therapeutic space is unique. It requires a dynamic way of working, full of curiosity and wonder.

I have just completed a Level 7 Post Graduate Certificate in ADHD, and have been offered the doctoral pathway.

I hold a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I hold ITEC diplomas in Holistic Therapy and have qualifications in Breathwork and Meditation for children and adults whilst regularly undertaking CPD courses to inform and shape the way I work. 

I am fully insured and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
