Meet Laura Woodham
Certified Counsellor
About Laura
Originally from a creative, commercial background, I realised that rewarding relationships are key to a good life. So I decided to retrain and focus my full attention on these deeper connections – because productive therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, and this is where change can occur.
Alongside my private counselling practice I am also employed by the NHS as a palliative care counsellor, working with patients and their families, individually, as couples, and in groups.
I am a skilled and compassionate Person-Centred counsellor, committed to helping you navigate through your personal challenges. By working together and helping to empower you towards self-acceptance and uncovering your own unique resilience and resources, I offer the support and guidance needed for you to grow.
I am a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework. This maintains my professionalism in ethical and professional practice. I am (enhanced) DBS checked and have full professional-indemnity insurance. I also regularly attend training courses to maintain my continuing professional development: All of which ensures your safety and wellbeing.
On a personal note, when not working I can be found in my garden or out with my black Lab singing along to my favourite tunes!
