Laura Craven, BACP, NCPS

Laura Craven is an integrative counsellor who brings a first-class Integrative Counselling degree and a warm, respectful presence to her practice. She focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where autonomy and mutual respect are encouraged, and uses a flexible mix of evidence-based techniques to meet each person where they are. Laura draws on talking-based work alongside creative tools such as journalling and mindfulness, and she can introduce psychoeducation to help clients see their experiences from different perspectives.

With experience supporting people through grief and loss, various forms of trauma, and domestic violence, Laura also works with issues including work-related stress, depression, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem. Her practice attends to a broad range of concerns including attachment or abandonment questions, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment issues.

Laura holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional registration with recognised counselling bodies and formal training in the field. She offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and is open to working with international clients. Her approach is collaborative and tailored - sessions are shaped to fit individual needs, and she encourages enquiries from anyone considering starting therapy.
