About Laura
Laura Scotland is a creative psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She uses a person-centred creative approach that gives people space to lead sessions. She suggests ways to process things through talking, mark making, movement and metaphor, depending on what feels right for the person.
She has three years of experience supporting people with stress and anxiety. She also helps with family concerns, grief, loss and coping with life changes. She offers practical ways to build motivation, self-esteem and confidence.
Sessions start with a first meeting to clarify what the person wants to work on. From there she tailors sessions to individual needs and pace. The creative elements are offered as options rather than requirements, so people can use them when they feel useful.
She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She works collaboratively and will suggest different ways to explore an issue if a person wants that. Her approach suits people who prefer a mix of talking and creative, experiential ways to make sense of problems.
Laura also works with issues such as attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome related matters, body image, cancer, domestic violence, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, social anxiety, women’s issues, workplace matters and young adult problems. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How creative, person-centred therapy works online
Laura uses a person-centred creative approach that lets the person set the agenda. In this way sessions focus first on what matters most to the individual, while the therapist suggests talking or creative ways to work on those concerns. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief and workplace worries by allowing practical, tailored exploration.She also offers creative processing such as mark making and movement as optional techniques. Mark making can help people externalise feelings and spot patterns, while gentle movement or metaphors can make difficult emotions easier to name and work through. These methods are adaptable and chosen to suit the person’s needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying different ways of working and adjusting as progress is made.
