About Me

Hello. I’m Laura, a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist based in central and east London.

I am registered with and accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I am also a member of the Federation of Psychotherapists and Counsellors (FPC) and work to all of the above organisations' codes of ethics.

My Approach

Psychodynamic therapy effectively addresses issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress.

Whether you have experienced a recent life stressor, such as a significant loss, or relationship-breakdown or you are navigating a particularly difficult period of transition, or perhaps you are feeling trapped or weighed down by a general sense of dissatisfaction, loneliness, or unease, whatever it is, psychodynamic therapy can act as a catalyst for lasting and meaningful change and repair.

Psychodynamic therapy not only focusses on the here-and-now, but it also asks us to look inward and to our past. Our early experiences can have a subtle but powerful influence on the lives we live as adults, impacting our self-esteem and our sense of well-being. Looking back can help you better understand the nature of your difficulties and the origins of certain self-limiting or destructive thoughts and behaviours, enabling you to cultivate self-awareness, reconnect with your inner resources and break free from unhelpful patterns.

I have worked with clients of a variety of ages and from a broad range of backgrounds and cultures. I am committed to working with curiosity and care, in confidence and without judgement and in a calm and collaborative environment. If you are interested in the possibility of working together, please get in touch via email and we can set up a short, obligation-free telephone call.
