Laura Nelson
About me
I am a qualified therapist and a Member of the BACP (MBACP) based and working in the UK. I have over 6 years of professional work experience supporting people with mental health and well-being including working with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, ADHD, relationship issues, grief and loss, body images, low self-esteem and confidence.
I have a passion for (and personal experience) supporting people and carers who are affected by chronic health conditions and neurodiversity.
I believe that with the right support you can reduce the impact of the issues that challenge you empowering you to grow as a person.
As a therapist I work alongside you using an 'Integrative approach' this means I use techniques from a range of therapies based on what is going on for you and what might be most effective.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
