Archives: Client Testimonials

“Laura has been our couples’ therapist for an important part of both of our lives. She has helped (and continues to help) us through managing the impact of old and complex trauma. She has been super insightful on how it is affecting our relationship and has helped us develop solutions and a better, stronger partnership. She is at once warm, balanced and challenging, and she doesn’t let us get away with anything. We have really appreciated that as we needed to cut through the noise to see what was important and from a different angle.”

“When I first came to Laura, I had massive self esteem issues and a fear of rejection. This would cause me to act in ways that were against my best interest. Laura helped me realise the patterns in my behaviour and understand why. The most important thing for me was that I felt validated. Laura challenged without being judgemental. This helped me to think critically about my behaviour. I am so much more confident now. The confidence that I project on the outside is reflected on the inside. Laura helped me find that. Over the months that I was seeing Laura, I was experiencing some challenging times. Laura helped me find strength by validating my feelings and building me up. I don’t think I would have been able to come through what I was experiencing, let alone arrive at a better place without Laura’s help. 

I am so grateful for my time with Laura, it’s been life changing. She has helped me find my power and own it. ”  

“I cannot recommend Laura highly enough and it is hard to put in to words just how much she helped me.  I was a sceptical about counselling overall, wondering how talking could help me when I felt like I had talked so much to friends at the time but was at a place in my life when it seemed like the final option left open to me. 

Never judging me or pushing me in any direction but rather through a combination of questioning and discussion, she empowered me to find my way forward at a time when I was completely lost and little by little, helped me re-discover who I was and what I stood for.  I believe Laura handed me the key to unlock the doors I had previously closed with my own thoughts, judgements and perceptions. 

I have come out of this a happier and stronger person, not just in relation to the original source of my problems but in my general outlook in life overall.  Beyond being an excellent counsellor, Laura is a lovely, warm person and I feel grateful that she came in to my life when she did.

I have said to her many times that I believe everyone should see her as a matter of course and that she should be prescribed on the NHS!“
