Laura Nelson

I currently have availability for new clients, I work flexible hours Monday-Friday

I am an empathic, non-judgemental person and therapist. I provide a safe space for you to talk about your feelings and the challenges you may be experiencing. I use an Integrative approach which means I combine different types of therapies to suit individual needs best. I am open and honest and will always ask if you are comfortable.

I believe therapy empowers personal growth and in many ways a mirror to ourselves and what we are truly thinking, feeling and experiencing, this can be difficult at times but honesty on both sides, (client and therapist) is needed for therapy to take place. 

This means building trust between us is important, it can take a bit of time and may feel a little daunting, especially for people who have not been to therapy before but please don't worry, it is a calm and relaxed environment where I hope you can be yourself, and we can work through what's going on for you at your own pace. 

I work mainly online, through video calls, this enables me to work with people throughout the UK, and supports after work, college, school appointments easily. 

The first session will involve talking through confidentiality, and our agreement which will be sent to you prior to the first session. It will be an opportunity to ask any questions, get to know each other a little and discuss your main concerns and what you aim to achieve through therapy. 

I offer a friendly, relaxed, and safe space for people to talk about the challenges they are experiencing. Working together we can explore feelings and emotions and techniques that may make them more manageable. 

As a therapist I provide Integrative therapy which means I use different therapeutic techniques I feel may be best suited to the individual. For example, this may include CBT, talk therapy, or mindfulness. 

I support young people and adults, offering online therapy via video calls throughout the UK.  I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship issues, chronic illness including Long Covid and ME, the LGBTQIA community, and people who are neurodivergent. 

During our first session, we will take time to get to know each other, explore what is going on for you, and discuss confidentiality and any questions relating to therapy or the contract.
