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 comes 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!

It can be easy to forget how you used to struggle with the things you now find easy. Or even how you can do things you never thought were possible.

But remember those things the next time you're scared of starting something new.

You ARE capable ✊

If you or someone you know is experiencing grief, especially if it's the first Christmas after losing a loved one, have a read of my latest blog post.

I share my advice for how to get through the festive season after a bereavement.

Let me know what you think in the comments and please do share with anyone you think may find this helpful ❤️💚

Grief is always hard, especially around milestones like birthdays and anniversaries. Arguably the most difficult time when you’re grieving though, is Christmas. You may be dreading the first festive season without your loved one, understandably so. Nothing will make it easy. But here are some thin...

I recently joined a community choir and it really does give you a feeling of joy and connection 😊

Are you part of a choir?

✨️ Glimmers are like the opposite of triggers. The little moments of hope and joy in your life ✨️

Try noticing these glimmers each day and see how it brightens your outlook, even just a little bit 🥰

Be honest, how often is this the case? 🙃🙊

Often avoidance feels easier in the short term but the anxiety and stress of it will just keep building up. In the end, it usually turns out to be fine and you wonder why you put it off so long in the first place!
