Who Am I?

I am passionate about helping people.

When Life Feels Unrecognisable

Sometimes we lose ourselves - through grief, through mental health struggles, through life shifting in ways we never expected.

I'm Laura, and I help people find their footing again, whether that's through clinical hypnotherapy, therapeutic support, or simply holding space for whatever you're carrying.

I'm based in Burton-on-Trent (for now - ask me about my pipe dream involving a van, my dog, and warmer climates), but I work with people wherever they are, literally and figuratively. Online, in-person, and in nature when the weather cooperates.

What I Actually Do

I'm a certified hypnotherapist and a qualified counsellor with over 200 client hours. But honestly? The credentials only tell part of the story.

I've volunteered with Treetops Hospice, Cruse Bereavement Support, and Mind Derbyshire. I've been the crisis support worker at 11pm. I've also been the person needing support at 11pm. Life has taught me as much as any certificate.

I work with:

  • Grief in all its forms (including the grief of losing who you used to be)
  • Mental health struggles that make you feel disconnected from yourself
  • That persistent feeling of being lost, even when everything looks "fine" from the outside
  • The exhaustion of keeping it together when you're falling apart

How I Work Differently

No therapeutic hour worship here. Need 30 minutes? Great. Want an intensive 3-hour session? Let's do it. Your healing doesn't fit neatly into 50-minute boxes.

Life happens. Cancel last minute because you can't face leaving bed? No charge. Seriously.

We don't just talk. I incorporate somatic work (I'm no expert, but our bodies hold so much), nature when possible, and whatever helps you feel grounded. Sometimes the best therapy happens on a walk.

Not weekly or nothing. Come when you need to. Some people see me intensively for a bit, then monthly. Some pop in when life gets heavy. There's no prescription.

Money shouldn't be the barrier. I keep a few free and low-cost spaces available. Ask if you need one.
