Hello, I am Laura and I run Millside Therapy in Newton Abbot offering a professional counselling service for individuals (18+) who are looking for a space to talk and feel truly listened to, helping you feel supported every step of the way, ultimately leading to a happier and more fulfilling life. My approach to therapy is warm, relaxed and tailored to you as an individual. I am also renowned for my straight talking and sense of humour!

My areas of expertise and experience includes: depression and anxiety, work related stress and burnout (particularly health care related), long term health conditions, cancer, bereavement, grief and loss, self esteem, disordered eating, body image issues.

Alongside my counselling practice, I also work in the NHS as an Registered Dietitian - where my passion is supporting those with long term health conditions and cancer, who have had life changing treatments. I am also the 'Wellbeing buddy' for the team and a Mental Health First Aider. 

Millside Therapy is based in a quiet private location in Newton Abbot, with safe parking available on the driveway. My room is calm, comfortable and spacious, with French doors over looking the garden (and my noisy chickens!). Access is via two flights of stairs. 

I am approximately 10 minutes away from Newton Abbot train station and 5 minutes away from the bus station. 

I understand how difficult it can be to make the first step and arrange your first appointment. What do I say, where do I start?? It can feel very overwhelming, but I will follow your lead and endeavour to make it as comfortable and safe as I can. It's also your opportunity to ask me lots of questions and get a sense of whether or not I am the counsellor for you.
