About Laura
Laura Scotland is a qualified creative psychotherapist registered with the BACP and has three years' clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, self-esteem concerns and wider life changes, including questions about life purpose.
She uses a person‑centred creative approach that lets the client guide each session. Laura offers talking therapies alongside creative options such as mark making, movement and metaphor to help people process difficult feelings. Sessions begin with a discussion about what the client wants to focus on and how they prefer to work.
Her experience includes supporting people with coping after loss, dealing with trauma, and navigating changes in work or relationships. She also works with attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, cancer-related issues, domestic violence, and workplace stress.
Practical matters are part of the work. Laura helps clients build ways to manage anxiety, improve confidence, and find strategies for everyday challenges. She explains options and suggests exercises to try between meetings when useful.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People interested in starting are asked to use the site's matching process to book an initial session and agree the most suitable way of working together.
How creative approaches translate to online work
Laura uses a person‑centred creative method that lets the client direct each session. In practice this can mean talking through concerns, working with metaphors, or using mark making and simple movement to express feelings. Those creative techniques can help with anxiety, stress, grief and questions about life purpose by offering different ways to notice and name emotions.She also draws on general evidence‑based approaches that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. For example, techniques that help identify unhelpful thought patterns can reduce anxiety symptoms. Practical coping strategies and exercises between sessions help people apply what they learn to everyday situations. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist will review what works and adapt the approach based on the client's goals and preferences.
If you want to work online, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in meetings when helpful, and remove travel time. Talk-based and creative options can both be adapted for remote work, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what to expect at the first meeting.
