Laura has been super helpful with my issues, with her help I feel that I have improved massively! She’s a very good listener and will ask very good questions to make you think through your issues and what is the best decision for you.

Laura has been really nice, caring and professional. She seems to understand my thoughts and feelings whenever I tell her a little of how I feel. She replies me really quickly as well which makes me feel like I matter and she even sends me messages to check on how Im doing when I didnt text her for a few days, makes me feel that she genuinely cares for me.

Laura is amazing. She listens, respect and offers help in different ways. She also responds fast and that can really help though tough times. She is kind and I feel very comfortable talking with her.
