Laura really listens to me and will go back to certain questions or goals that I’ve set for the session to really dig deeper and get me thinking in a different way. She also sends me worksheets that I can work through in between our sessions which really helps me. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a warm person who is also direct and gets to the nitty gritty. Thank you Laura ♥️

Laura is wonderful as always - while being professional and extremely experienced, I feel like talking to a close friend when sharing the most anxious memories with her. I could not have wished for a better therapist and friend.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Laura has a wealth of expertise and she can often see right to the heart of an issue. She won't pull her punches when reasoning things out with you but I appreciate and welcome such an approach and find it much more helpful than someone who will let me continue labouring under my own delusions

Laura has been one of the most significant parts of my life changing for the better and dealing with my problems. I honestly could not have come this far without her. She will definitely not be forgotten for her listening and care anytime in my future.

Laura has helped me massively over the last year and been a crucial part of my recovery and improvement. She is kind, smart, a brilliant listener and always seemed to understand me. I would reccomend her to anyone :)

Laura is the first therapist who really helps me. She is very considerate, down-to-earth and offers very concrete actions I can take to work on the improvement of my mental health. She also gives me space to express myself fully without making me feel judged or rushed. It is everything I would even want about a therapist and I am very grateful for her help.

Very nice, empathetic and professional. I switched therapists once and was very relieved that she was so much better

Laura has a no nonsense approach which I find really helpful. She challenges without being judgemental, and I listen, which I wouldn't if she didn't clearly have a wealth of expertise in the areas where I need help. Can't recommend enough for people struggling with addiction and relational issues.

I highly recommend Laura for anyone seeking professional support in addressing relationship issues, co-dependency, setting boundaries, dealing with anxiety, and healing love addiction habits stemming from childhood trauma. With extensive experience and expertise in these areas, she skillfully guided me towards a better life. Through her guidance, I learned to live mindfully, experience joy, and cultivate a healthier approach to relationships. Her compassionate and effective approach truly transformed my life for the better.
