Welcome! I’m Laura.
The founding of the Bodhi Tree Counselling & Psychotherapy
You will discover that the name of my practice was derived from one of my fur babies called Bodhi (Or Bodhi Pants for more essence 🙂 ) He is my little, playful, nutty 9 year old Bedlington terrier. He is brother to my also, very nutty rescue Pointer cross Lily 4. Yep, they are my amazing, well loved furbabies.
Bodhi in Sanskrit means Awakening & Enlightenment and which came from the Bodhi Tree Buddha sat under for 49 days (7 weeks) before achieving enlightenment. So with my love of my Bodhi boy and the story of Buddha and his spiritual enlightenment came 'The Bodhi Tree Counselling & Psychotherapy' Straight from my heart where my passion is as a therapist.
I am a humanistic and Integrative practitioner which means I work with you as a whole, everchanging person, considering your mind, body, spirit and life journey so far.
My special areas are childhood trauma and healing the inner child, parenting therapy, anxiety and menopause.
I have diverse experience of other areas but not limited to; grief and loss/bereavement, self esteem and confidence issues and work around the central nervous system and regulation.
Being a humanistic and integrative therapist emphasis on the fact you are responsible for yourself, your choices and how you navigate your life, with the aim of being your best, most authentic version of yourself to achieve your full potential in life, goals and relationships.
My therapy space is a space for you to be your true self without judgment so you can heal and grow freely and authentically. This is your space to be seen, heard and validated, while you explore in the safety of our space together In confidence.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation either via phone or video call to discuss your needs and to see if you feel comfortable before embarking on your therapeutic journey with me. The most important thing is feeling safe and comfortable with the therapist you choose, after all, you are sharing your inner and outer world and feeling safe and secure is a massive deal in therapy.
"When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity - then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship offered by an empathic person provides illumination and healing. In such situations, deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another" Rogers.
How I Can Help You
With a humanistic and integrative approach, I offer empathic counselling and psychotherapy within a safe, confidential space. Together, we can build a therapeutic relationship to explore any disturbances or challenges you face, helping you find peace and balance. I’m fully qualified (BSc Hons) and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which means I adhere to high professional standards and ethical guidelines.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, or unresolved trauma, I’m here to help guide you through the process of healing at your own pace.
How We’ll Work Together
At this time, I offer online sessions exclusively via Doxy.me or telephone (UK only). This allows us to connect from the comfort of your own space. I will be offering face-to-face sessions in the future, once a dedicated space is established (Please enquire if this is of interest).
I also provide a free initial 15-minute consultation, where we can chat about your needs and see if we’re a good fit to work together.
Any questions you have during initial consultation will be answered so you feel comfortable with the process.
Your first step into self discovery, healing and personal growth can be anxiety provoking, so a big praise from me if you have reached my page, read it and even contemplated contacting me! You have got this! 🙂
