Hello, my name is Laura. I’m a qualified, registered and experienced integrative counsellor, offering individual and relationship counselling in a warm, supportive and non-judgemental setting.  I work with adults and couples both face-to-face in the local area and online across the UK providing flexible counselling to suit your needs.

 

Before training as a counsellor, I worked primarily in education and leadership, including periods of working abroad.  This background has shaped my understanding of people, relationships and the pressures that can build up over time, particularly during periods of change, stress or emotional overwhelm.

 

I offer individual counselling and relationship counselling for difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, stress and feeling stuck.  Sessions last 50 minutes and can take place weekly at the same time, or we can discuss a more flexible arrangement.  Individual counselling sessions are £55, and relationship counselling sessions are £75 (90 minute sessions are available for an increased fee).

 

Before beginning therapy, I offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone or online.  This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, talk through what’s bringing you to counselling, and decide whether I’m the right counsellor for you.

 

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor therapy to you, rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.  My work is informed by Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Transactional Analysis (TA).  Alongside my private practice, I also volunteer with local mental health charities.

 

I am fully qualified, insured and registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and work in line with their Code of Ethics.  I regularly attend supervision and continuing professional development to ensure my practice remains ethical, safe and up to date.

 

If you’re looking for a local counsellor or online counselling support, and would like to find out more, please feel free to get in touch — I’d be happy to hear from you.

​

I offer counselling in Rayleigh, as well as online counselling across the UK and most of the world.
