About Me

Hello, I’m Laura - thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

I’m a qualified and registered Psychotherapist based in Charnwood, Leicestershire. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy from the University of Nottingham. My training offered not just academic learning, but a deeply immersive experience in the principles of person-centred therapy.

I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), which reflects my ongoing commitment to ethical practice and professional standards. But beyond the qualifications, what drives me most is a genuine belief in the power of human connection and the strength we all have within us to grow, heal, and find our way forward with the right support.

Before becoming a Psychotherapist, I spent six years working with children and young people on the autistic spectrum in various support roles. These experiences deepened my understanding of individual needs and tailored support.

My approach is person-centred, which means our work together is guided by you - your story, your pace, and what feels right for you. Whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I’m here to walk alongside you without judgment, helping you explore your thoughts and feelings with respect, compassion and care.

You don’t need a diagnosis or a mental health label to seek support. Therapy can be a powerful space for self-discovery, healing, and growth - whatever stage of life you’re in.

Since becoming a mother myself, I’ve developed a particular interest in supporting other parents, especially mothers who may be navigating the emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum changes, or early parenthood. I understand how overwhelming and isolating that time can feel, and I aim to offer a warm, understanding space where you can speak freely and feel truly supported as you find your footing.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.

What to expect

Before committing to therapy, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your needs, explore how we might work together, and determine whether we are the right fit. This initial conversation provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions and gain a sense of my approach. There is no obligation to proceed, but if you choose to continue, we will arrange regular weekly sessions tailored to your therapeutic journey.

Before the first session, we will sign a counselling agreement together which highlights the cancellation policy and my confidentiality clause. My current session fees are:

  • £50 per session standard fee

  • £35 per session student fee

  • £30 per session reduced fee for individuals who require financial support

I currently offer therapy sessions online, either via secure video call or telephone, depending on your preference. Each session lasts for 50 minutes.

In addition to traditional sessions, I also offer a “Walk and Talk” therapy service, which takes place outdoors and combines the benefits of movement and nature with therapeutic conversation. If you’re interested in learning more about this approach and whether it might be a good fit for you, please feel free to enquire or bring it up during our initial consultation.
