About Laura

Laura Scotland is a qualified creative psychotherapist who works from a person-centred creative approach. She offers space for clients to lead sessions and brings gentle suggestions for talking or creative ways to process feelings. Laura aims to make the first step easier by listening without rush and helping people find a clear focus for therapy.

She uses creative methods such as mark making, movement and metaphor alongside conversation. These options give different ways to express difficult feelings when words are hard to find.

Background and approach

Laura commonly helps people managing stress and anxiety and supports those dealing with grief and loss. Laura also works with issues around self-esteem, confidence and motivation. She supports people facing life changes, workplace strain and family problems.

Her practice includes attention to attachment concerns, social anxiety and challenges linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome. Sessions are shaped to what each person brings. In the first meeting she will listen for priorities and agree practical next steps.

That might be short-term work to reach a clear goal or longer support to process complex experiences. Her practice is grounded in respect, sensitivity and compassion. Laura draws on three years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often called BACP.

She offers sessions in English and is available to work with international clients via online formats.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Laura lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Creative person-centred therapy online

Laura combines person-centred work with creative approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters most to you, and it can be useful for stress, life changes and confidence building. Creative methods such as mark making, movement and metaphors give alternative ways to express grief, shame or anxiety when talking alone feels limiting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura will work collaboratively to choose whether talking, creative exercises or a mix suit your goals. She will review progress and adapt the methods to your needs and preferences over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and creative work that benefits from visual contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat suit brief updates, reflection between sessions or times when being on camera is not wanted. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
