About Me

Hi, I'm Laurence, a qualified psychotherapist trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Clinical Hypnotherapy. I focus on building resilience and helping clients become unstuck in both mind and body, which is essential for managing stress, anxiety, insomnia and overcoming depression.

 

My approach uses outcome-based S.M.A.R.T techniques to promote mental and emotional strength, helping you not only deal with current challenges but also handle future ones more effectively. I provide care in a non-judgemental and accepting manner, ensuring every individual feels heard, respected, and supported.

 

CBT and Clinical Hypnotherapy are powerful, evidence-based strategies that empower individuals to understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and build lasting resilience. Through my own experience, I have witnessed the transformative effects of CBT on my mental and emotional well-being, and I am passionate about helping others achieve similar personal breakthroughs and lasting transformation.

               

I specialise in treating stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, pain control, disordered eating  and insomnia. My practice is goal-oriented and evidence-based, using CBT, ACT, and Clinical Hypnotherapy to help clients achieve meaningful and lasting change. Central to my work is the use of SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound objectives—which offer a clear and structured path for clients to track their progress and achieve their desired outcomes.

“You have considerable power to construct self-helping thoughts,

feelings and actions as well as to construct self-defeating

behaviours. You have the ability, if you use it, to choose healthy

instead of unhealthy thinking, feeling and acting.”

 

― Albert Ellis
