People who seek therapy with me are often experiencing:

A sense of being overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward
Ongoing anxiety, low mood, or increased stress
Challenges related to relationships, life transitions, health or identity
The demands of parenting, caring roles, or professional responsibilities, and a wish for support

I offer a warm, respectful, and personalised therapy experience. Some people come for support around a specific difficulty or diagnosis, while others are seeking deeper understanding or longer-term change.

We can work together to identify what feels most important and focus on that.

Compassionate face-to-face and telehealth therapy for adults and adolescents

I’m Laura Alfred, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist with over 25 years’ experience supporting people to better understand themselves, build healthier relationships and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

Stress, burnout and life transitions
Chronic pain or illness
Workplace or school stress

My approach

Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in trust, safety and understanding. My work is informed by psychodynamic psychotherapy, integrating cognitive, interpersonal, mindfulness-based and somatic approaches where appropriate.

Sessions are tailored to your needs and pace, with the aim of helping you make sense of your experiences, recognise patterns over time, and develop greater capacity to respond differently.

What to expect

A safe, confidential, and respectful therapeutic relationship
Sessions focused on understanding rather than judgement
Therapy that adapts to your goals and circumstances
Face to face and telehealth appointments available

Supervision

In addition to clinical work, I provide supervision to early career psychologists. My supervision style is reflective, collaborative, and grounded in clinical experience, with space for both professional development and thoughtful exploration of clinical work.
