What I work with
By paying forward a combination of my personal experience of mental health issues, the latest research, ongoing supervision and appropriate training, I aim to help you manage your mental health and personal development so that, one day, you no longer need counselling.
The main issues that I work holistically with are:
- CPTSD and emotional neglect.
- high sensitivity.
- perfectionism and procrastination.
- relationship issues, including with family, friends and partners, as well as with ourselves.
As well as:
- coaching artists to identify and reframe limiting beliefs.
- counselling for the illness or loss of a beloved pet.
If you would like to discuss how my approach fits with what you need, don't hesitate to book a free consultation or message me.
Who I am
My name is Laurele and I am a fully qualified person-centred and pluralistic counsellor and supervisor.* I am a senior accredited registrant with The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), adhering to their Code of Ethics and appearing on their Accredited Register. I am also a PVG Scheme member.
I have worked in mental health since June 2005, including in Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), higher education, the NHS and the voluntary sector. I am a lecturer and trainer in counselling and forensic psychology, as well contributing to mental health publications and websites and delivering Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM).
Alongside being a counsellor, I am also a practicing artist.
