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.

These experiences have shaped the way I listen, with curiosity, patience, and respect for difference.

I'm a psychologist with a Master's in Health Psychology from the University of Derby, UK. Alongside that, I've kept studying: a Mindfulness Instructor Master's from Nebrija University in Spain, a Diploma in Communication and Technology applied to autism  from the University of Burgos, and training in quality of life across the autistic lifespan with Fundación Garrahan in Argentina.

I've also studied psychiatric nursing at the University of Brighton and behaviour analysis in Parma, Italy, alongside trauma sensitive approaches, non violent communication, and polyvagal theory.

I say all this with a beginner's mind. I'm always studying something. Learning is one of the ways I self regulate, alongside movement and travel, and I try to bring that same curiosity, rather than certainty, into the room with every client.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, low mood, disconnection, and the quiet questions that come up in therapy.

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, supporting individuals navigating conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and substance use. These experiences have expanded my understanding of mental health in its many forms and strengthened my trust in slow work, careful listening, and care that’s shaped by each person’s story.

My intention is to offer a space where you can explore, at your pace, what well-being means for you. We’ll work together to build tools, notice patterns, and move toward a sense of grounding and connection  in a way that feels real, sustainable, and aligned with your values.

An approach rooted in science, and softened by kind presence.

My approach blends behavioral science, mindfulness, and non-violent communication. At its core, it’s about building self-awareness, emotional resilience, and more honest, compassionate relationships  with yourself and with others.

I believe in meeting you where you are, without judgment, and moving forward together at a pace that feels right for you.

Mindfulness helps us stay present, even when things feel difficult  allowing you to respond with more clarity and less overwhelm. Non-violent communication offers ways to express yourself with honesty and care, supporting stronger, healthier connections. And insights from behavioural science help us create simple, practical strategies that make sense in your daily life.

This approach has been helpful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, autism, and life transitions but also for anyone who’s simply seeking more balance, space, and presence.

My aim is to support you in finding a kind of well-being that’s real, sustainable, and meaningful to 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.
