Laura Waters

I offer face to face and online sessions.  I currently have availability on Mondays. 

I can offer counselling support for a range of issues including loss, bereavement, overwhelm, burnout, anxiety and panic attacks, relationship issues, or perhaps you feel a bit stuck, or are just not feeling yourself.

I have experience of working in private practice, a college setting and within the NHS. 

I work mainly in a person centred way, which means that I am led by you.  We will work together to explore your worries, feelings and thoughts to help you to increase your self-awareness and achieve greater autonomy over your life.

​I trained in an integrative way, which means that I am also able to draw on other counselling approaches, to fit with you as an individual. I am a trauma informed counsellor. Counselling doesn't always have to be just talking and we can incorporate some more creative ways of working together.

I work from Apotheca in Faversham, Kent:

Alternatively we can work online - usually with Microsoft TEAMS, unless you have another preference. 

Initial consultation:

I offer a free 20 minute TEAMS or telephone consultation where I will introduce myself and ask you what has brought you to counselling and if you have any goals.  It will be an opportunity for you to ask me any questions.  I will send you a copy of my working agreement prior to our consultation.  My aim is to help you feel at ease and for you to decide if we are the right fit.

First Session:

When we meet for our first 50 minute session we will complete a brief assessment, where you will have the opportunity to tell me about the issues that you have been experiencing.
