Hi, I’m Laura.
I am a wife and a mother of three children. When I am not seeing clients or hanging out with my family, you will find me reading a good book, sipping tea or coffee, chatting with friends or watching a movie. Ever since I was a young girl, people have sought me out to process their life challenges. I would often be up late listening to friends on the phone, helping them work through their current life struggles.
I knew early in life that I wanted to help those who felt like they did not have anyone to talk to. Specifically, I love working with children and teens to explore their worries, concerns and life challenges and to assist them in processing how to engage in a different way.
My Values & Beliefs
I believe that you are far more capable and resilient than you think
Even though this moment may be tough, and even though you may feel like you are drowning, you are reaching out for help and that is a quality of strength.
I believe that counselling is for everyone
It is recommended that you seek out counselling if you experience more than one life transition within a month’s time. Some life transitions may include – moving, job change, additions to the family, loss, starting/stopping school, marriage or divorce.
I believe that life is about change, growth, and process
You are not the same person you were 5 years ago and you will not be the same person 5 years from now. We all adapt and change and learn as we encounter different experiences in life. Sometimes counselling is necessary to process some of those changes and integrate them into your life.
My Approach
I believe that counselling is about your process. With you, we create a safe place for you to discover and process the road blocks in your life. Together we will work towards creating change. Each session will be about 50 minutes in length, where we will discuss your current challenges and work towards finding a solution
In our first session, I will ask questions to get to know you a little better and discover your current difficulties. Together we will design a counselling plan which will include focusing on some initial counselling goals.
