Hello! I'm Laura.

I’m a Somatic & Gestalt Therapist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), IFS Level 3 practitioner, and Certified Trauma-Recovery & Systemic Coach, with advanced training in relationships and couple therapy  (IFIO and from Almeria University). I work with clients worldwide across many cultures and belief systems to gently shift the patterns that keep them stuck.

What we can work on together

  • Addictive or compulsive patterns

  • Attachment and relationship patterns

  • Limiting beliefs and strong inner critics

  • Somatic signs of unresolved stress/trauma (PTSD-related symptoms)
    …and whatever else is showing up in your system

What clients often notice,

  • Healthier, more loving relationships

  • Calmer, more mindful parenting

  • Renewed creativity and expression

  • Energy and clarity to start new projects or businesses

  • Most importantly: freedom from “invisible” patterns and a steadier connection to the true self

How we’ll work,


Relational and systemic. Somatic and parts-informed. We’ll bring the body online, meet protectors with respect, and move at your pace—with dignity, consent, and clear boundaries—so change becomes possible and sustainable.

...so they can find compassion for themselves, reconnection and true freedom from within.

After our work together, my clients have gone on to:

 

  • form healthy, loving relationships

  • become better and more mindful parents

  • create art

  • start new business ventures

  • and MOST importantly to find freedom from those invisible patterns....

 

...so they can live more authentically and in tune with their true self.

 

Because when you learn how to free yourself from these invisible chains holding you back, you can achieve incredible things!

What Clients Say

Image by Irene Strong

“I really enjoyed the overall experience with Laura. I felt that I had a few key insights. I particularly
enjoyed contacting the feeling before the trauma. Her presence was very healing and made me feel
comfortable and safe. I also appreciated her extensive knowledge of the various dynamics I experienced. She is doing so much good with this work and I’m so grateful she was willing to offer her time so generously. Keep up the amazing work.”

Care for the whole system...

If you’re new here and unsure where to start, begin exactly where you are. You don’t need the “right words” or a tidy story—your patterns make sense in context: body, history, family, culture, relationships, and the nervous system you live in. If talk therapy hasn’t shifted things, we’ll bring the body online, work with your parts and protectors, and move at your pace with dignity, consent, and clear boundaries so change becomes possible—and sustainable. Below are themes I work with most; if yours isn’t listed, there’s still room here. New here? Book a complimentary session to get a felt sense of the work—no pressure, just care.

 

We can explore whatever you are facing together.

Behavior Change & Addiction

  • Tired of a habit that no longer serves you? We’ll map the cycle, meet the parts that keep it going, and build compassionate, sustainable change at your pace.
    Outcome: more choice, steadier nervous system, real momentum.

Healing Trauma

  • If pain lingers or the past keeps echoing, we’ll work gently with Somatic Experiencing and IFS to restore safety and capacity in your body.
    Outcome: fewer reactivations, deeper self-trust, more ease.

Mindful Parenting

  • Are you reacting to your child instead of responding?

  • Do you feel guilty for falling short as a parent?

  • Are you unsure of how to discipline your kids?

Grief & Loss

  • When life breaks open, you don’t have to hold it alone. We’ll make space for grief, honour love and absence, and find a livable rhythm.
    Outcome: steadier waves, meaning-making, kinder self-care.

Self-doubt & Feeling Stuck

  • If the inner critic freezes your next step, we’ll unblend from fear, befriend protective parts, and move with small, doable experiments.
    Outcome: embodied confidence, not forced—just real.

Anxiety & Depression

  • When anxiety spikes or low mood lingers, we’ll pair bottom-up regulation with parts work so relief isn’t just cognitive.
    Outcome: fewer spirals, more energy, a steadier baseline.
