Reviews / Testimonials
Laurence has helped me in ways that are hard to encapsulate all in one paragraph! I feel that Laurence really understood and empathised with what I’d been going through and I always felt better after our sessions together.
Laurence particularly helped me through a very difficult breakup recently – without her help and guidance I don’t think I would be as far ahead as I am right now. She accommodated me with last minute sessions through that dark time and even my friends noticed how much better I seemed after a session with her.
All throughout our time working together Laurence directed me to outside sources that have really helped to enrich me in many aspects of my life – and that boosted me to achieve my pre-set therapy goals.
I can honestly say therapy with Laurence has transformed my life – she is my therapist for life now too, that fills me with more confidence that I can weather any storms that come my way in the future.
