Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I'm a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, registered with the BACP, and I have over five years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.
My core approach is Person-Centred therapy, which means I believe in your ability to grow, heal, and find clarity when offered the right conditions—empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely, at your own pace.
Alongside my main approach, I’ve completed specialist training in Trauma Studies and Gestalt Therapy, and I integrate tools from CBT, Mindfulness, and Attachment Theory when it’s helpful. This allows me to tailor sessions to meet your unique needs and goals.
I have a particular interest and experience in working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, identity issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. I also bring a multicultural perspective to my work, and I offer sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and/or Italian.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, looking to make sense of your past, or simply want a space to understand yourself better, I'm here to support you on that journey.

Laura is incredibly sensitive and respectful every time we meet. I am so appreciative of the sympathy and understanding she provides; she helps me consider aspects of my behaviour and feelings that I've never explored before. She also guides our sessions in a way that does not inhibit what is shared while steering them to new areas to explore.
