About Laura
Laura Scotland is a creative psychotherapist who works from a person-centred approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Laura makes space for each person to lead sessions and bring what matters most to them.
She offers both talking and creative ways to process difficult feelings. This can include mark making, gentle movement, and using metaphors to make sense of experience. Sessions are shaped around what the individual prefers and finds helpful.
Background and approach
Laura has three years of clinical experience helping people who face stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with family problems, grief and loss, and low self esteem. She has worked with people managing life changes, trauma and issues around motivation and confidence.
Her practice includes additional focus areas such as attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image concerns, cancer related distress, domestic violence, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness. She also addresses social anxiety, women's issues, workplace strain and young adult issues. In the first session Laura listens to understand what someone wants to work on.
From there she tailors future sessions to meet specific needs. Her style is respectful and compassionate, with practical options offered alongside talking when useful.

How Laura works online
The biography emphasises creative, person-led work rather than a single fixed method. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to choose ways of working that suit the person.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a break from work. It can also let someone use methods that do not require being in the same room, such as talking through metaphors or practical exercises adapted for remote sessions.
