Sometimes in life we can all face difficult and challenging times.

Therapy can help by offering a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space, where you can explore your feelings, concerns and difficulties whatever they may be.

About me

Hello, I’m Laura. Welcome to my website. I am a qualified Humanistic Psychotherapist offering face to face counselling and psychotherapy with individuals in Eastbourne. My experience comes from working with people who have a wide range of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, isolation or anger for example. Alternatively you may feel something is not right, but unsure what this is.

Through a process of exploration, therapy can help you to gain greater understanding of whatever difficulties you may be facing, helping to increase your self-awareness.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I gained a BSc degree in Psychology and went on to train as a mental health nurse. I spent several years working as a nurse in mental health community services for the NHS in Sussex and Hampshire.

I initially qualified as a Humanistic Psychotherapeutic counsellor in 2018 and I now hold a Masters degree in Psychotherapy.

I would love to meet with you and talk about how we could work together in an initial session, please get in contact, I look forward to hearing from you.

Specialities

I specialise in working with people who experience mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. I also specialise in working with people who have been affected by suicide, either if you have experienced thoughts about not wanting to be here, or if someone you know has expressed thoughts of suicide or have taken their own life. Losing a friend or loved one to suicide is particularly complex grief, I can help you to explore this is a safe non-judgemental way.

About my approach

Counselling is a place where you can explore any difficulties you may be facing in a confidential, supportive environment with someone who can listen without judgement.

My work is grounded in the humanistic approach, this means that I see each and every person as an individual. How you each experience your world is unique and can be explored through a positive, trusting relationship where you can feel heard and accepted for who you are. We can work in partnership, I will not tell you what to do or give advice.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by the BACP ethical framework.

It is also a chance for you to explore whether counselling and the commitment needed, is right for you.  After the initial session you can decide whether you would like to book further counselling sessions with me.
