Psychotherapy and approach

Laura works with clients who may have a sense of being stuck within holding patterns or contexts that are no longer purposeful, or who struggle with issues relating to identity, behaviours, emotions and thoughts. Clients may also feel estranged from themselves without knowing why, or who have trauma and relational concerns. Laura attunes and responds to clients’ needs and provides:

• a non-judgemental and confidential environment

• skilled understanding from several listening perspectives 

• tools and techniques to support the management of symptoms and for facing challenges

Ways of working

The first step is to mutually arrange a brief introductory phone call which lasts up to ten minutes. Thereafter, an initial consulation may be arranged either in person or online, this takes place prior to an offer of subsequent sessions. This time is used to assess and understand what has led the individual to seek psychotherapy, assess suitability of working together and it is also an opportunity for the prospective client to:

• get a sense of what therapy involves and how it may help them

• ask any questions they may have before making the commitment

• discuss the practicalities, confidentiality and the general framework of therapy

• make an assessment of the therapist to decide if they wish to work with them

• discuss costs and affordability of subsequent sessions 

Sessions

Sessions occur once or twice a week for fifty minutes, online or face-face with clients engaging in therapy for as long as they feel it will be useful. The fee for the initial consultation is £80.00. The rate and affordability for subsequent sessions will be discussed during the introductory call and in the initial consultation. Concessions for students and low earners may be available.
