Hi. I’m Laura and I am a qualified counsellor based in the UK.
I am a CBT qualified therapist and have worked within coaching and counselling for the past 6 years.
My main experience is working with young adults, adults and adults with Autism, ADHD and other neurodiversity. I have dealt with a wide range of concerns including (but not limited to) stress, anxiety & depression, LGBTQIA related issues, family conflicts, self-harm, suicidal thoughts as well as trauma and abuse.
You can expect to be greeted with a warm, welcoming and relaxed therapy style. Therapy is a very personal experience, and it’s important you find a therapist that is right for you!
I believe that you are the expert of your life and that we all have many strengths that will assist us in overcoming challenges. I help support you in realising your strengths and potential.
Reaching out takes courage and shows you already have the ability to make positive change! I am here to support you in that process.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Laura is amazing
I truly feel like I am entering a safe space every week when we meet. I am able to voice my troubles and concerns and they are met with compassion and understanding every time. I honestly don't think I would have been able to make this much progress if it weren't for Laura's guidance.
After working with Laura for a year, I have become more confident, learned to set boundaries, and let go of huge traumas that I had been holding on to for years. She continues to help me find my own path by shedding old habits and patterns.
Outstanding therapist
I've never had therapy before, so I was apprehensive and didn't know what to expect. I was matched with Laura, and right from the start I was made to feel at ease. I don't tend to freely open up with my feelings, but I felt that I was soon able to with Laura. Even after just the 1st session, I felt like something had been lifted from me. 4 sessions later and I now feel like I've let out so much and feel so much better about things. I would definitely recommend Laura, her professionalism and care through these personal matters makes all the difference. Thank you.
I have worked with Laura for more than a year, and she has been the biggest support and help through extremely difficult times. I highly recommend her if you need a therapist that really knows how to create a safe space where all emotions are valid and seen.
Thoughtful, understanding, insightful. An invaluable guide on my journey of self-improvement
Laura has been absolutely brilliant and helped me tremendously in working through some difficult topics. She's kind, considerate and challenges me in all the right ways. I couldn't recommend or thank her enough!
The bestie you would want on your team during tough times. Working with Laura I finally found the safe space I needed to heal and work with old traumas I never even dared touch upon before. I have been met with such kindness and compassion that I didn't expect from a therapist. I feel more capable of living the life of my dreams, knowing that I have such an amazing therapist with me through this journey.
I was a bit nervous about starting Therapy, but Laura has been exceptionally encouraging and helpful. Everything has progressed at my pace, and she respects my wishes when it comes to things I'd rather not talk about. she is very receptive to working with the way my thought patterns work
During these last 3 months I have gone through so much work, and she has been an incredible support. I can't image my life without having her as support. 100/10
