Laura Patton

Normal face to face availability is Tuesday and Friday afternoons into the evening.  Online availability is Tuesday morning and afternoon, Wednesday mornings, and Thursday afternoons.  Please enquire about any current spaces I have available, and please specify which mode of counselling you prefer.  

Welcome to my page and I hope you will find it helpful. You are most likely here because you, or someone you are close to, may be going through a difficult time.  I believe that in recognising you are struggling, and finding the strength to ask for help you are on the first step towards changing your current situation.  I will offer you a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space to discuss your thoughts and feelings about anything you may be currently facing, or simply wish to explore. My therapeutic approach is Person-Centred, and in addition I have a good understanding of other approaches, which allows me to be more eclectic within my practice.  I believe that in talking about your issues in an accepting environment where you can be fully heard and understood, clarity can be gained and I can assist you in working towards a resolution that is best for you. Session fees: £45 p/hr (I work to a full hour). 

I am experienced in working with adults who are facing common issues such as depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal ideation, bereavement, issues relating to the self, relationships, amongst many others.  I also have experience in working with drug and alcohol addiction, having previously worked in a residential rehabilitation service for those suffering with serious drug and alcohol addiction.  I am also experienced in working with eating disorders (e.g. Anorexia, Bulimia, BED and OSFED) and have worked for a local eating disorders charity for three years.  

Please note I work with adults and the elderly only (over 18yrs of age).  

Please see above for my availability; this can be online via Zoom or face to face.  I offer short term; long term; or time-limited therapy, whatever feels suited to your own needs.    

Please note I work with adults and the elderly only in my practice at present.

If you wish to enquire further about my practice in general, I can offer you more information at no cost, by email, text, or a short telephone call, to help you decide if you wish to book a session.  I do, however, charge for the first session where we both see if it feels like a good fit for us to work together (1 hour in duration).  Please get in touch for further information.
