Iam Laura, and have worked both privately and in the NHS for many years.  In the NHS I have worked across Norfolk and Waveney in various mental health teams and more recently in eating disorders.  In my private work I am based at the Green Parrot, in Swaffham and see people face to face at the clinic and also online. 

Whether people have a diagnosis of a mental disorder or are adjusting to difficult life events, I believe that life can be stressful and sometimes we can need support in navigating what life has to throw at us.  I am passionate about supporting people to get the most out of their lives, by helping them to develop strategies to cope, or by treating the symptoms of mental disorders. 

I work primarily with adults with a wide range of difficulties (some are listed right).  I have always been interested in learning different therapy approaches because I strongly believe that people need to find the therapy that works best with their personality and also the particular difficulties that they are experiencing.  Over the years I have been trained in a number of therapy modalities including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mentalisation based therapy (MBT), schema therapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and group analysis.  More recently I have become interested in embodied trauma approaches and am currently training in Lifespan Integration and sensorimotor psychotherapy.
