Laurel Leaf Counselling

Laurel Leaf Counselling Hello, I'm a qualified counsellor based in Plymouth, as well as online wherever you are in the UK. I understand how it feels to need someone to listen.

I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. Maybe you don't get chance to talk openly with the people in your life, or perhaps you've fallen into unhelpful patterns. With my support, we can begin to change this. My philosophy & how I work

I work in an integrative way, meaning I can bring together different approaches depending on your needs. This always com

es from a person-centred place, where I will work with you. Every person deserves to be seen as a unique, three-dimensional individual. One of the biggest things I can help with is facilitating awareness. Awareness of your past, your relationships, who you are, and what you want. Many people struggle to recognise or express certain parts of themselves, but I hope with my help you can begin to feel whole and become your true self. Sometimes it’s hard to find the words; in these times, we can try working in a more creative way if you find this helpful. I also offer walk & talk therapy for those that find inspiration from being in nature. Some clients may want a little more direction and I am happy to offer this where needed. It’s about figuring out who you are and what you want. I will do my best to meet you where you are on your journey and share that journey with you. Who I work with

I work with adults of all ages. I have experience of providing counselling across different settings, including charity and educational environments. I work with a range of different issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, grief, identity, and low self-esteem. What's next? I offer a discounted first session of only £25 for one hour. I understand it can be a daunting prospect starting therapy and it’s important to find the right fit for you. There's no obligation to continue after this if you choose not to. Get in touch via my website or email to find out more or to book a first session!

Do you find you're always in your own head? Do you struggle with overthinking and anxiety? 🤯

Taking time to focus on other people can help take you out of this state 💞

What are some of the ways you practice this? Let me know in the comments ⬇️

We all feel sad or struggle sometimes, but if it's been going on for an extended period of time, it could be a sign of clinical depression.

If it's yourself, please don't feel like you're alone or that there isn't any help out there.

Check out the NHS website to see what support is available. If you can afford a private therapist, check out Counselling Directory or the BACP directory for registered therapists in your local area or online.

And if you're worried about someone else, don't hesitate to check in with them because you might say the wrong thing. Just be there for them.

You can also take a look at my blog post on how to support a loved one dealing with depression (via website- link in About page 🔗)

"Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs." - Vaclav Havel

Having a goal or a dream is great, but you won't achieve it by just willing it to happen. You need to take steps to making it happen 👣⛰️

"I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose." - Kobe Bryant

While I think reflection is really important and useful, I also think it can be unhelpful to spend too much time dwelling on the past. We can use our history to learn about ourselves now, and then we can grow from it. 🌱

Feedback from a client who recently finished their therapy journey with me 😊

Choosing a therapist is a very personal thing and testimonials can't guarantee the same experience for everybody. But hopefully they give you an idea of the qualities clients see in me. Plus I feel proud to share them 😌

All testimonials are posted with permission from the client.

"Every flower blooms in its own time" ...and so does every person.

Don't compare yourself to others or measure your progress by anyone else's standards. Go at your own pace and you will blossom in your own time 🌸

This is where therapy can help.

Sometimes you can be too close to something to see the bigger picture and you need someone to help you make sense of it all 🧠🧶
