I’m Laura (she/her)

Hello and thanks for being here. I’m Laura, a BACP registered counsellor, offering an approach that integrates psychotherapeutic and humanistic counselling, somatic therapy, and trauma therapy and, where it feels aligned, eco-therapy or psycho-spiritual therapy. I work in person, in Birmingham and online.

Outside of my 121 therapy work, I’m a licensed meditation teacher, I offer wellbeing workshops, and I hold spaces for people to explore earth based spirituality.

My work is all about supporting you to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with cycles and seasons. My offerings are rooted in psychology, neuroscience, embodiment, ritual, folklore and nature connection, guided by values of equity, justice, liberation and community care.

While I work with anyone who’s drawn to my approach, I specialise in supporting people to explore aspects of marginalised identity, particularly those with autism and ADHD, or people from the LGBTQ+ community. I also support people to explore their spiritual understanding of the world, if that feels aligned.

This path began with my own journey: navigating mental health challenges, discovering my neurodivergence later in life, and searching for meaning through deeper connection to myself, others and the natural world. Everything I now offer through The Clear Space has been shaped by what’s supported and sustained me along the way.

You can explore my offerings via the menu above, or you might want to get a better sense of who I am and how I work via my FAQs and my values.

  • Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.

  • Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

  • Queering something breaks rules in order to liberate people who have been held hostage by what the rules require or prevent.

  • Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.

Offerings include therapeutic support, nature connection sessions, group circles and bespoke rituals. I offer trauma-aware, identity affirming spaces and practices to support reconnection with yourself, others and the world around you.
