About Laura

Feel better

Chances are, that if you are here, it is because you want to feel better. It might be better within yourself, from feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or from physical symptoms from IBS or chronic pain.

Many of the people I work with, who experiences physical symptoms or pain, can change or eliminate them with a mix of tools and techniques, guided hypnosis and very importantly self reflection.

One of my trainings is in ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences); you might wonder how does that have anything to do with you? There is science backed information on how negative childhood experiences, can have physical effects on adults; including heart related conditions. Then having an understanding of our childhoods, could have a positive impact on our present and future.

But, not everything is rooted in childhood, that’s why my approach is integrative: I bring elements of hypnosis, solution focus therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), humanistic, person centred, neuroscience, EMI (Eye Movement Integration Therapy)  and NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming).

I offer an approachable, and strictly confidential safe space for our therapeutic relationship.

 

Cognitive Hypnotherapy

 

How can Cognitive Hypnotherapy help you? Research has shown how cognitive hypnotherapy can be more effective than CBT for anxiety and/or depression; 71% reported themselves recovered with 6 sessions of Cog. Hypnotherapy, versus a 42% reporting recovered with an average of 6 sessions of CBT. This is a reason why I am also a therapist member of AnxietyUK.

Apart from anxiety & stress, I specialise in supporting people to feel better from IBS and chronic pain.
