Laura believes therapy and healing requires a collaborative process and can often be overwhelming for some people; however, she is dedicated to helping people follow through and achieve personal growth. She understands and encourages clients to explore their unconscious and conscious experiences in life.
Laura applies a Person-Centered foundational therapeutic orientation through which she offers empirically supported psychological tools, techniques and interventions from several theoretical backgrounds which include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Laura’s approach to counselling encourages clients to set goals which she can help them achieve by working through their feelings and thoughts through a Cognitive Behavioural approach. Laura understands that the therapeutic process is a journey in itself and provides a supportive, calming and open environment for clients to share their experiences. She looks forward to walking with you on your journey!
