Private Counselling in London - Laura Lonsdale

Private Psychotherapy and Counselling in London

“Laura is exactly the kind of therapist you wish for: kind and encouraging, realistic yet comforting”

With over 15 years experience as a qualified therapist, I offer compassion, support and empathy for people in stressful situations. I believe the mind and body are closely linked and look at how both are managed. Whether it is a short term crisis or long term, I work with encouragement and patience to help clients move forward.

Get in Touch

I work on a one-to-one basis and listen with compassion and empathy to what brings you to therapy. Ofcourse everything we discuss is confidential and I work in a small quiet office which is a safe space. Talking to someone, sometimes for the first time,can be a relief as you can feel validated and heard. Being understood is what we all need and is a first step towards recovery from any situation, no matter how large or small.

How I deliver counselling

I meet my clients in a small comfortable office in Kensington where you are warmly welcomed and shown where to go. My sessions last 50 minutes after which we can book a follow up session usually at the same time weekly.

I also offer online counselling by zoom which is convenient if people are travelling or live overseas. There is also telephone counselling and face time should there are technical issues .

“Empathy is one of the most potent aspects of therapy, because it releases, it confirms, it brings even the most frightened client into the human race. If a person is understood, he or she belongs."
