Hello my name is Lara. I am a fully qualified and experienced trauma-informed, integrative counsellor.

Deciding you want to start counselling and making that first contact with a counsellor may not be easy. And staying with the therapy as you uncover or face painful truths and/or explore difficult experiences can feel overwhelming at times, but I truly believe it's worth it.

We all face difficulties as life can be challenging. Having someone who can offer you that time and that space to help us deal with difficulties in a safe non-judgemental way.

You may feel stuck, struggling to cope with things from the past or you might be struggling with something in your life happening now. Sometimes we need someone who is outside of the situation, who will really listen to our concerns and work with us to help sort things out, so that you feel better. 

I am also a qualified Reiki practitioner. 

My professional experience includes supporting people who have experienced trauma, providing counselling through local charities for individuals affected by drug and alcohol misuse, offering couples therapy, and guiding clients through bereavement. 

I have also facilitated trauma-focused groups for women, helping them deepen their understanding of trauma and its impact on the body.

I work with a broad spectrum of issues, with a particular emphasis on trauma, anxiety, depression, bereavement, and substance misuse. My aim is to create a safe and compassionate space where clients feel supported in exploring their experiences and moving toward healing and personal growth.

Initial 20-minute telephone or online consultations are free.
