More about Lara
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I qualified as an existential therapist in the UK. I am also a qualified CBT therapist and have been working with clients for 8 years. I focus on helping clients with relationship/attachment issues, family conflicts, trauma and separation and parenting struggles. My special interest is adoption and have worked extensively both in research and with clients who are adopted.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
