Testimonials
I have come to the end of my initial block of sessions and am immensely grateful to Laura for her advice and support in improving the state of my mental health. For the past 8 years I have suffered with severe bouts of anxiety which were so crippling I could barely get out of bed. These would often occur after I had spent long periods of time (like a holiday) with my husband. As well as medication. CBT and numerous consultations with a Consultant psychiatrist, I still found the episodes of anxiety descend upon me several times a year. As a GP I found my self overly worrying about patient care and decided to retire early.
Laura has a straight talking manner which I respect and rather than dwelling on the past, showed me how to change my thinking for the now and future. Rather than continually blaming the circumstances/people in my life, I very quickly was able to change my thought process. Within a few weeks I became less anxious and more confident. Laura has now given me the tools to cope with other people and circumstances which I have realised just will not change. It has been good to gain a better understanding of my personality and why I react in certain ways. Joy has come back into my life and I am so very grateful.
I can highly recommend Laura to anyone who suffers with stress, chronic anxiety or pain. I told her that I wish I had met her 43 years ago as I would have coped a lot better with my marriage!! So thankful I was referred to her.

I have struggled with general anxiety for many years, experiencing my first panic attack over 30 years ago. Medication has never been an option for me and results from various therapies have been short lived.
Laura has a unique understanding of anxiety and its debilitating effects. She listens with empathy and provides strategies and tools that really work.
Following my final session of the programme (just over 8 weeks ago), life has thrown me a challenging time……. But I have managed to navigate through without having the crippling symptoms of anxiety that I would ordinarily have had to cope with.
For me, the Anxiety Recovery Program has been life changing.
I cannot recommend this programme enough.
Thank you Laura

Having had anxiety for years I finally decided to try something different and reached out to Laura. Her approach is truly unique as it focuses very much on rewiring the brain, which made so much sense to me. I very quickly started to see improvements in not only my anxiety but my mood overall. After having anxiety and the associated symptoms (horrible diarrhoea and tummy issues) for such a long time I really cannot believe the change in me. For the first time in a long time I am excited about the future. Thank you Laura, working with you meant everything to me!

Working with Laura has been totally life-changing: I am now almost back to my normal life and feel positive that my anxiety issues won't arise again - or that I could deal with it if it did. When I had imagined working on my anxiety, I had thought it would be emotionally taxing, but actually it was enjoyable - it felt like such a relief to be able to let go of the anxiety. The techniques that we covered have also helped me to start managing my emotions around other difficult things in my life. I feel like I have a toolbox of things to use when life is stressful for whatever reason or just to help deal with daily life. I can't express how much the program has done for me - it's unquantifiable. Thanks again!

Laura is a very intuitive, intelligent, and caring lady. When I first looked into working with Laura, I knew I wanted someone who would work with me at where I was on my own journey and not work to a very scripted set of sessions. Laura took time to really think about what was going on for me and taught me tools that will help me in all of my life - not just in keeping symptoms at bay.

Laura is incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring and offered such wonderful care and support in my recovery. I was able to feel strong and empowered in my own life again after so many years of feeling fearful, lost and overpowered by my symptoms. The Anxiety Recovery Program has taught me invaluable skills that have not only helped me with my anxiety but can be applied to all aspects of my life. It's unbelievable to think an 8 week programme could be so completely transformative - it has given me my life back and I am so thankful!
