Hi, I'm Laura, the founder of Bettyoucan, a counselling and coaching service.

My practice is designed to offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere to allow you to explore the issues that are bringing you to therapy, as well as anything that is affecting your day to day life.

Whether you are seeking therapy for a specific reason or you are struggling to feel like yourself, I use person-centred therapy, with potential integrations where necessary, to enable you to explore what you need to and to empower you to be your true authentic self. Each person is an individual with their own specific story and so our sessions will be based around what you need and want to gain from therapy.

I offer a video/phone consultation for online clients or a face to face meet and great to briefly discuss what you are looking for in therapy, ask any questions you have about how I work and to get to know each other so we can assess if we would be a good fit. This call can be on the phone or online via video chat. 

I offer person centred therapy and coaching , should coaching be beneficial to you. 

The sessions are primarily built around what you bring on the day, however if you have a specific reason for attending therapy we can have more focused topics for the hour to stay in alignment with what brought you here in the first place.

I offer an introductory call for online clients or a meet and greet for face to face clients, this is a way for us both to see if this we would be a good match. 

If we both agree it is, for our fist session, we will run through a contract of what our sessions will look like going forwards, what we expect from each other and any logistics that might need addressing. There will also be a couple of questionnaires so I can get a better understanding of where you're at and if there is anything specific I need to be made aware of. However, we can also touch on this in our introductory call if you feel it is important to mention.

We will then use the rest of our time as needed; most likely heading into what brought you to therapy but being mindful of the time we have left for this introductory session.

We may allocate some "review" sessions where we run through the questionnaires again and check in with one another around how you feel the sessions are going, but for the most part the rest of the sessions will be full therapeutic hours (50minutes).
