About me:
Laura holds a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Irish College of Humanities and Applies Sciences, Limerick (2021) along with a Diploma in Psychology of Counselling (2018) and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2012) from NUI, Galway. Laura is a pre-accredited member of APCP and abides by their code of ethics, recognising the importance of safety, respect and confidentiality in the therapeutic relationship.
Laura aims to create a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic space to support her clients so that they feel comfortable discussing their personal life experiences and exploring their needs and desire for personal growth. She aspires to empower individuals to develop insight and achieve their full potential.
Laura practises an integrative approach to therapy, whereby she utilises ideas and techniques from different schools of thought to fit the unique needs of the individual. As an integrative psychotherapist, Laura believes that there isn’t just one therapeutic approach that can help a client in their individual situation, every client who walks through the door is different. She takes a detailed account of you as an individual, your circumstances and experiences, and uses elements of different approaches to help you explore and cope with your problems, meeting your mental health needs. By combining various tools and strategies from numerous therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Humanistic, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, Laura aims to provide all round support that makes therapy unique for each person.
Laura has experience working with individuals and couples from different cultures and backgrounds and recognises how mental health struggles are viewed differently across countries and cultures, which can have an impact on mental health wellbeing.
She is available to work with individuals and couples for both short term and long-term therapy.
