I am a dedicated, compassionate and empathetic Counsellor with over 4 years of professional work experience and I am MBACP Registered.
Counselling sessions provide an opportunity for the client to work through their own particular difficulties with the support of a counsellor in a way which is beneficial to them. I aim to provide a compassionate atmosphere of unconditional acceptance in order to help the client explore any difficulty they might be facing, find completeness and move forward.
I use the Person-Centred approach to counselling. If appropriate, the counselling sessions are tailored to the unique client’s needs introducing interventions from Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused approaches. Furthermore, I like to use my multicultural competence and passion for promoting well-being in diverse client populations. With a high level of empathy and personal insight I have special experience in helping clients suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse or those simply needing to make sense of their lives, to build resilience or develop greater self-esteem and emotional health.
I provide counselling sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and/or Italian.

She is a great therapist, makes me feel safe, and I can talk to her about anything without feeling ashamed about it. I'm very happy to have her as my therapist.

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.

Laura has been very helpful from the start, and communication from set up throughout the sessions was really strong. Laura is kind but professional and I felt listened to and supported through my therapy journey. I strongly recommend Laura.
