A thoughtful and tailored approach

Laura’s work is grounded in psychodynamic therapy while integrating approaches including CBT, person-centred therapy and relational work. Sessions are tailored sensitively to each client’s unique experiences, needs and goals.

Her background as a Registered General Nurse and Macmillan Breast Cancer Specialist Practitioner has deeply shaped her compassionate and emotionally attuned way of working.
