Laura Waters

I offer face to face and online sessions.  I currently have availability on Mondays for in person on online sessions.  I can be flexible with online sessions on other days/times - if you contact me we could discuss.   My availability is due to increase from April 2025.  Term time only sessions available on request.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I work from Apotheca in Faversham and online. I work with adults and young people aged 13+.  I have experience of working in private practice, a college setting and the NHS.   I offer a free 20 minute online consultation. I have worked with a variety of issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationships, low self-esteem, low-confidence, identity exploration, school stress, parenting, loss, and bereavement.

I work mainly in a person-centred way, which means that I am led by you and your needs, and that our therapeutic relationship is key. I draw on other approaches depending on your needs. I also sometimes use creative interventions, especially with young people for example, feelings cards.

I can provide you with a confidential space and an empathic listening ear, where you can be yourself and express how you feel without judgement.  We can work together to help you make sense of how you are feeling. If you would like a free 20 minute conversation so that you can decide if we are the right fit please don't hesitate to contact me.

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.
