My name is Laura.

​I'm an experienced BACP accredited counsellor working in mental health since 2014. I'm also a bariatric patient, having undergone my own gastric sleeve surgery in 2021 via the public health system.

I offer counselling and support sessions to those who are considering bariatric surgery, those who are pre-op and also those who are post-op at any stage in your bariatric journey. I am a HAES aligned therapist, believing in health at every size.

As a qualified counsellor who has been through this complex and physically demanding process of change, I understand first hand the challenges and difficulties experienced by bariatric patience both before surgery whilst living in a bigger body, and also post surgery.

Along with my unique personal experience I also bring my long standing service as a counsellor in private practice, working with adult individuals on a wide variety of mental health challenges and goals.
