Trauma-sensitive Cognitive Hypnotherapist - NLP - Somatic Practitioner - PSYCH-K® Facilitator - Attachment Lens

book a free 30-min discovery call

Hello, I’m Laura.

I am a healing arts practitioner trained as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist, NeuroLinguistic Programming Practitioner (NLP), PSYCH-K® Facilitator and Somatic Movement Educator.

Through trauma-sensitive guided trance work and somatic integration, I support people to move past blockages, self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviours, to let go of the resentments and the stories that no longer serve them.

My practice as a Bodyworker and Somatic Movement Educator are great allies in helping me work from an embodied place and with an understanding of nervous system (dys)regulation. This supports integrated, embodied and lasting transformation.

I’m trained in Carmen Spagnola’s Trauma-sensitive facilitation method (levels 1-3) weaving attachment, somatics, and justice. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space and actively welcome all people.

My approach is also influenced by Hakomi, a mindfulness and somatic based approach to psychotherapy that centres Loving Kindness, fostering a safe and nurturing environment for the therapeutic process to unfold.

As someone who has experienced multiple heath complexities, I’m forever curious about the relationship and interactions between our emotional states, nervous system function, and our immune system - also know as psychoneuroimmunology - and how we can use brain plasticity and nervous system regulation to support greater regulation, symptom management and healing.

My approach is transpersonal, meaning that we work on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels, guided by your needs and sensibilities.

Walking along this path takes much courage. I honour this deeply in all those that I work with.

I support clients on a short, medium, and long term basis.

Please feel free to book in a no-commitment discovery call if you’d like to decide whether my approach might be a good fit.

  • Client Testimonial

    I found the work I did with Laura to be a deft balance between: (1) the bespoke delivery of techniques and conversational themes that suit me, and (2) the introduction of or guidance towards new practices which are both challenging and necessary. Laura’s intelligence and breadth of knowledge are very impressive, yet she applies this with razor sharp focus and purpose. Despite her knowledge she remains curious, listening intently and trusting your experience. I consistently had the impression that she was thoroughly prepared for our sessions; she was regularly able to draw upon something I may have said months prior in order build a coherent and clear picture to issues where I cannot.

  • Client Testimonial

    'My sessions with Laura were very unique - offering such a personalised set of tools and experiences to deeply reflect and immerse myself into the hidden patterns of my body's history. She carefully guided me to unexpected places where I could see, feel and understand the root of repeated patterns in my life. It was extraordinary how simple it felt and yet profound in what it offered me to shift what I needed to change in my life. I am immensely grateful to Laura'. S.B. 10/2024

  • Client Testimonial

    ‘I’ve found much has shifted for me over the short time I’ve been working with Laura particularly with deeply held patterns of behaviour that felt ingrained including some quite paralysing and painful anxiety. Laura offered deeply considered invitations and I felt completely safe and unpressured in my sessions. After five sessions, I’m sleeping well, and I feel calmer, freer and lighter. I am now able to balance the challenges of my life easefully and steadily without being thrown off course. Thank you.’ - L.C

  • Client Testimonial

    ‘Laura was very encouraging and nurturing. I felt truly heard which helped me open up and get to the root of the problem. She took me through a process to improve my confidence which was very helpful and her words certainly impacted me. After the session, I felt as though something had lifted. The effect continued and I now have greater self belief and am moving forward with much more confidence. I would highly recommend Laura as a hypnotherapist. Thank you Laura!’ - M.N
