Counselling with Lara
I provide a non-judgemental and confidential space to talk, to think, to be listened to and heard as I explore alongside you what influences your thoughts, beliefs and behaviours.
My aim is to facilitate your ability to get to know and understand yourself better. To enable you to have greater insight into what helps you to feel stronger and able to manage your life in the way that you want.
Comments from Clients
Thank you for the way you have worked with me. I have a freedom that l have never felt before.
I felt it was so easy to open up with you. I appreciate your support and guidance so much, and I hope to continue to learn and implement what I’ve learnt.
The way you presented yourself as a counsellor felt authentic, professional and safe.
Please know this has provided a 'safe arena' for me to share me.
I’ve got so much out of our sessions, they’ve been invaluable.
You held such a safe and empathetic space for me and my challenges.

I believe in the importance of working in a relational way and developing a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. It is really important that you feel comfortable and able to trust your counsellor so that you feel able to share, explore and find strength within yourself.
My approach involves exploring early life experiences as they continue to influence the way that we experience and respond to the world around us. By talking about these experiences we can begin to develop some insight into what is being held within your body and your unconscious that troubles you in the present day.
I believe that it is important to listen to your internal dialogue and be curious about what is influencing it and how it effects your thoughts, beliefs and actions.

Get in Touch
I offer a free 15 minute telephone or Zoom call so that you can meet me and tell me what brings you to counselling. There is no obligation to book sessions after this call.
If you do decide to book sessions, then the first session will be a more detailed discussion to find out more about you. This will be at the usual fee of £45 and last for 50 minutes. This can be on the phone, on Zoom or in person.
