Laura’s clients present at therapy with a wide range of mental health challenges. Some would like support to get through their studies, as they face significant academic and performance pressures.

Laura also helps those who would like to become more assertive and reduce people pleasing tendencies so they can prioritize their own needs.

Laura enjoys collaborating with her clients, meaning that they take an active role in planning out their treatment goals.

She teaches clients how to communicate clearly and how to practice healthy coping skills when faced with distress.
