Online therapy for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and autism grounded in mindfulness and evidence-based care.
My approach, my background
My name is Laura.
I was born in Argentina, and over the years life and work have taken me to London, Italy and Saudi Arabia.
Living across different countries and cultures has shaped the way I listen.
I try to meet people with curiosity, patience and respect for the many different ways there are to experience the world.
I’m a psychologist, and I’m currently carrying out research in Health Psychology at the University of Derby in the UK.
My other training has taken me in several directions that continue to inform my work.
I completed a Master’s in Mindfulness Instruction at Nebrija University in Spain, and postgraduate study in autism at the University of Burgos and Fundación Garrahan in Argentina.
I have also studied psychiatric nursing at the University of Brighton and behaviour analysis in Parma, Italy.
Along the way, I have continued learning about trauma-sensitive practice, nonviolent communication and polyvagal theory.
I say all this with a beginner’s mind. I’m nearly always studying something.
Learning is one of the ways I make sense of the world and regulate myself, alongside movement and travel.
I try to bring that same curiosity into therapy. Not the certainty that I already know what something means, but a willingness to explore it together.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, disconnection, and the quieter questions that often bring people to therapy: Why do I keep feeling this way? What do I need right now? What would make things feel a bit easier?
I try to meet each moment with curiosity rather than certainty. I don't come to therapy with answers already decided. We find the way forward together, at your pace not mine.
Since 2020, I’ve worked in psychiatric hospitals and forensic settings. There, I supported autistic people, as well as people experiencing severe depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, psychosis and substance use.
That work gave me experience of mental health in some of its more complex forms.
It also taught me the importance of patience, careful listening, and trying to understand each person in context.
Much of my work now is with neurodivergent adults, including autistic people and people with ADHD.
Sometimes the difficulties are anxiety, low mood, overwhelm or burnout. Sometimes they are more about identity, relationships, masking, or trying to understand why certain parts of life feel harder than they seem to for other people.
My way of working is also influenced by motivational interviewing and contemplative psychology.
I find both useful because they make room for curiosity. They are less about telling someone what to do and more about noticing what matters, what gets in the way, and what change might feel possible.
In therapy, we can take time to look at patterns, what feels difficult, what has helped before, and what you need now.
The aim is not to force change. It is to understand things a little better and find ways of living that feel more manageable and more your own.
An approach rooted in science, and softened by kind presence.
My work is influenced by health psychology, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, contemplative philosophy and nonviolent communication.
I don’t use these as a fixed formula. Different people need different things, and part of the work is finding out what is useful for you.
Mindfulness can help us notice what is happening without immediately trying to change it. Motivational interviewing can help when part of you wants change and another part is unsure. Health psychology helps us look at how thoughts, emotions, behaviour, relationships and everyday circumstances can affect well-being.
Nonviolent communication can also be useful when we are looking at relationships, boundaries, needs, and how to express ourselves more clearly.
These ideas can be helpful with anxiety, low mood, grief, neurodivergence and periods of change. They can also be useful when nothing feels dramatically wrong, but you would like to understand yourself better or find a little more space in everyday life.
I try to meet you where you are, without assuming that I already know what you need. We can work together at a pace that feels right for you.
I often think of my work as carrying the spirit of wildflowers, quiet growth, quiet strength, and a kind of beauty that doesn’t seek attention, but offers presence.
