Welcome
You may be wondering
Is counselling right for me ?

​​​

​​

​Hi, I’m Laura, a humanistic, integrative counsellor based in York. I work with individuals and couples, face to face or online.

Person-centred therapy is the backbone of my work, but I can also integrate cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused therapy into sessions where required, if they help you reach your goals. 

​

My top priority is for you to better understand your thoughts and feelings and live a happier, more fulfilling life. I will ensure  we will approach this through a client led approach and use the best tools available so you get the most out of your therapy journey. 

​

It can be difficult to know which way to turn when considering working with a therapist.

The most important part to any therapeutic working relationship is to create and build a trusting and equal relationship therapist and client. From building this foundation, I have experienced clients feel safe, they feel able to voice their thoughts and feelings helping to gain an understanding of the ‘why’ behind everything.

Counselling help’s by offering a space solely dedicated for you to speak freely to an impartial person.

​

I work with clients who bring a range of issues; including trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, abuse low self esteem and neurodiversity to name a few.

I have  specialised areas of interest in Neurodiversity, anxiety, ME/CFS and  couples

​Having completed further training in trauma-informed care, I am committed to providing a safe and effective therapeutic space. I believe in working at your pace, prioritising your safety, and ensuring we avoid re-traumatisation as we process trauma together.

​​​​​

I offer a free initial meeting, these usually last around 15 minutes. This will take place either over the phone or online and gives us an opportunity for you to discuss your needs and most importantly to ensure you feel I'm the right therapist for you, and discuss availability and the booking process.

My main practice is close to the university of York, I also work online
