      <image:title>About Me - My name is Laura. I am a fully qualified and insured integrative therapist and I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I have also been part of developing a national online course which specialises in Adoption Support counselling to help families and adoptees process the challenges that adoption can bring. I have a Certificate in Adoption Support counselling so I am able to work therapeutically with birth parents, adoptive parents, adoptees, and others in the family who might have also been affected by issues of adoption. I have also had a lot of experience in working with children and young people in a supportive capacity, particularly with the difficulties that the current pandemic has brought to people’s lives. Having trained in both Psychodynamic and the Humanistic models of Counselling, I incorporate both elements of these models. I am warm, empathic, and will offer you the space that you need to explore your issues.</image:title>

      <image:caption>People seek counselling for a variety of reasons. Whether this be to process previous experiences, or to use the space to develop personal growth and self-awareness. Sometimes it can feel as if we have no one to listen to us, or that our own problems can feel too big or too small to seek help. You could be facing workplace stress or emotional difficulties within your personal relationships. Whatever your needs, Your Journey Counselling can provide a confidential safe space for you to be able to process what you need with an MBACP qualified and registered counsellor.</image:caption>
