Hello, I’m Laura Dannequin.

I am a therapist working from a somatic approach and an attachment lens.

I draw on and weave in Cognitive Hypnotherapy, attachment re-patterning, parts work and EMDR.

I work with people in the short, medium and longer term. This depends on what you are wanting to explore and where we are starting from.

Please book in for a free discovery call if you would like to discuss working together.

Below is some more extensive information on the modalities I have trained in and my general manner of approach.

Scope of Practice

My therapeutic practice is guided by clear guidelines and ethics. As a member of the NCH and QCHPA there are certain individuals who I cannot work with. I’m afraid I’m not able to work with you if you have ever been diagnosed with the following conditions:

  •  Epilepsy

  •  Psychosis, Personality Disorder, Bi-Polar Disorder, Schizophrenia

  •  Narcolepsy

My work should not be considered a substitute for adequate medical supervision or emergency mental health support.
