Laura Whyte

I believe that when given the best circumstances, each one of us can live a happy, fulfilled life. I also believe that at times life puts barriers in our way that prevents people from achieving this, when that happens, it can be hard to put things into perspective and to trust in our own ability on how to manage this and move forward.

My way of working is to acknowledge that fundamentally, people know what is best for them, but the unexpected challenges we face can cloud our judgement and the ability to face them head on. I am passionate about facilitating a safe space to support others to identify their own solutions and implement positive changes.

I work alongside people whether this is short term or longer term. I am an integrative counsellor, I incorporate a number of therapeutic modalities, while maintaining a client centred approach. This means that I place the client and counsellor relationship at the heart of my practise. As a counsellor I offer you my honesty and respect, and enable you to feel empowered to explore solutions to any issues you may face, past or present, within a supportive environment. 

I am able to work with people with a very wide range of needs, but my areas of special interest include working with:

• Low mood and Depression, that feeling of "something just isn't right".

• Supporting people with identity development, helping them to grow their self acceptance, self worth and inner confidence.

• Helping others figure out exactly what they want out of life, and working towards achieving this.

• Supporting people to manage anxiety in varying forms, such as social or health anxiety.

• Supporting people through significant changes or transitions in life, including relationships, employment/educational, health changes.

• I love working along side women, helping them feel confident and empowered.

• Women's issues including menopause, perinatal/postnatal, Mothers/ caregivers.

• Victim survivors of Gender based violence, domestic abuse, emotional and physical abuse, coercive control.

• Relationships of all kinds, including conflict and challenges that can arise in family or partnerships.

• Loss and grief in varying forms, including bereavement.

• Work place issues such as disputes, work place bullying, work related stress and issues, redundancy. Also supporting people who are returning to work after long/short term absences or unemployment.

• Group therapy, facilitating mental well being groups. 

I offer a free 20-30 minute initial consultation, this gives you the chance to decide if therapy is for you or not, and to ensure that I am a good match for your needs and starting to form our therapeutic relationship. I place the client and counsellor relationship at the heart of my practise.

If we decide to work together, sessions last up to 50 minutes, usually weekly or fortnightly. 

I can offer online and telephone sessions. I currently have availability Mondays and Fridays. Some evening and weekend sessions are available. I also offer "walk and talk" sessions, which can be discussed during initial consultation.
