Based in Rayleigh, Essex - also offering telephone & online sessions
My name is Laura, and I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor and breathwork facilitator based in Rayleigh, Essex.I offer a warm, supportive and compassionate space where we can gently explore what has brought you here helping you to better understand yourself, feel heard and held, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Many of the people i work with find themselves at a point of change whether that’s something obvious happening in their life, or a quieter inner shift where things no longer feel the same. This work isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about gently unlearning what’s no longer serving you, softening the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and finding your way back to a place that feels more like you.Alongside counselling, I also integrate conscious connected breathwork where appropriate, because sometimes talking therapy isn’t quite enough, and we also need space to feel & release any trapped emotions from the body. Sessions take place in my private garden space, The Nest a calm and nurturing environment designed to help you slow down, exhale, and feel at ease.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may find yourself anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns, struggling within relationships, or quietly carrying more than you realise.
Counselling offers you a space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and feel supported through whatever you’re facing. My approach is gentle, compassionate, and tailored to you. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all model, allowing us to work together in a way that feels supportive, safe, and aligned with your individual needs.

Issues which commonly bring people to seek therapy with me:
Grief & Loss
Anxiety
Low Self Esteem
Stress
Anger Issues
Feeling Low or Depressed
Family issues
Relationship issues
Negative Thinking
Navigating Life Transitions
Sessions are available in person in Rayleigh, Essex
or online via Zoom or Google Teams

Sometimes talking alone and understanding our thoughts isnt quite enough. We can understand something deeply but still the emotional weight remains stuck in our bodies. Conscious connected breathwork can support the release of stress, anxiety & emotional tension from the body. By working with the breath, we create space to process, release & move through experiences that may have been carried in the body for some time.
