About Me

Hello, my name is Laura. I am a qualified and registered psychotherapist based in Charnwood, Leicestershire.

I hold a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham, where I studied the theory and application of Person-Centred Therapy in an immersive learning environment. During my training, I gained hands-on experience as a volunteer therapist at The Human Flourishing Project. Upon qualifying, I became a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), demonstrating my commitment to professional standards and ethical practice.

Helping others navigate life’s challenges has always been my passion. Before pursuing my career as a psychotherapist, I spent six years working in various support roles with children and young people on the autistic spectrum, further strengthening my understanding of individual needs and tailored support.

I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals and helping clients discover their own voice. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with confidence and self-compassion.

While I hold specific areas of interest and expertise, my practice is not limited to any particular group or diagnosis. You do not need a mental health label to seek support. My person-centred approach is open to anyone who is looking to make meaningful changes in their life, whether you’re facing specific challenges or simply seeking a greater sense of clarity and well-being.

Since becoming a mother, I have developed a strong commitment to supporting other parents as they navigate the profound changes that come with parenthood. I have a keen interest in working with mothers experiencing prenatal anxiety, postpartum depression, and the many emotional and psychological challenges that can arise during pregnancy and early parenthood. My goal is to provide a nurturing and understanding environment where mothers feel heard, supported, and empowered to embrace their journey with confidence and resilience.

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.
