Hello

I'm Laura, and I'm passionate about supporting women as they navigate one of life's most profound transformations: matrescence, the journey of becoming a mother. As a mother myself, I intimately understand the incredible complexities and challenges of this transition.

My aim is to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for mothers to navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that come with motherhood, empowering them to embrace this transformative journey.

About Me

I hold a Master's in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from Birkbeck, University of London, and I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). My background in working with a diverse range of clients over a number of years has solidified my belief that the psychological and emotional transition into motherhood isn't given the attention it truly deserves. It's a developmental passage as significant as adolescence, where your inner world shifts in powerful ways. This can stir up feelings, anxieties, and even echoes from your own past that you might not expect which can lead to you feeling isolated and alone.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which means we'll work together to explore these deeper, often unconscious, influences that shape your experience of motherhood. I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to bring all of yourself, your hopes, your fears, your joys, and your struggles.

I'm here to help you:

Make sense of complex emotions: Understand the multitude of feelings that arise during pregnancy and postpartum.
Integrate your evolving identity: Explore how becoming a mother reshapes who you are, bridging your past self with your new role.
Build resilience: Develop inner resources to navigate the unique challenges of motherhood with greater strength and self-awareness.
Foster deeper connections: Enhance your bond with your baby and strengthen your family dynamics by understanding your own emotional landscape.

My aim is to help women go through one of the most beautiful yet challenging life-changing experiences they will ever have. This journey is an opportunity for self-discovery and growth, and I'm here to work with you as you navigate this unique and transformative path.
