Laura is wonderful as always - while being professional and extremely experienced, I feel like talking to a close friend when sharing the most anxious memories with her. I could not have wished for a better therapist and friend.

Laura has a wealth of expertise and she can often see right to the heart of an issue. She won't pull her punches when reasoning things out with you but I appreciate and welcome such an approach and find it much more helpful than someone who will let me continue labouring under my own delusions

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Laura has been one of the most significant parts of my life changing for the better and dealing with my problems. I honestly could not have come this far without her. She will definitely not be forgotten for her listening and care anytime in my future.

Laura has helped me massively over the last year and been a crucial part of my recovery and improvement. She is kind, smart, a brilliant listener and always seemed to understand me. I would reccomend her to anyone :)

Reviewed August 2024

Laura is the first therapist who really helps me. She is very considerate, down-to-earth and offers very concrete actions I can take to work on the improvement of my mental health. She also gives me space to express myself fully without making me feel judged or rushed. It is everything I would even want about a therapist and I am very grateful for her help.

After only one session, Laura's expertise is quickly shining through and I feel I'm in very capable hands

Very nice, empathetic and professional. I switched therapists once and was very relieved that she was so much better

Reviewed June 2024

Laura has a no nonsense approach which I find really helpful. She challenges without being judgemental, and I listen, which I wouldn't if she didn't clearly have a wealth of expertise in the areas where I need help. Can't recommend enough for people struggling with addiction and relational issues.

Reviewed September 2023

Good listened but doesn't mess about and offers practical goals to achieve in order to be able to see progress

I highly recommend Laura for anyone seeking professional support in addressing relationship issues, co-dependency, setting boundaries, dealing with anxiety, and healing love addiction habits stemming from childhood trauma. With extensive experience and expertise in these areas, she skillfully guided me towards a better life. Through her guidance, I learned to live mindfully, experience joy, and cultivate a healthier approach to relationships. Her compassionate and effective approach truly transformed my life for the better.
