About Laura
BACP counsellor with three years' experience, Laura Scotland uses a person-centred creative approach. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief, self-esteem and major life changes. Sessions combine talking with creative methods such as mark-making, movement and metaphor to suit what each person brings.
Laura offers space for clients to set the agenda. She listens for what matters most and then suggests ways to process it, either through conversation or a creative activity. Creative work can help when words alone feel limited or when feelings are hard to name.
Her background includes supporting people coping with bereavement, loss, and trauma. She also works with those facing workplace pressures, social anxiety, body image concerns and issues around attachment. These areas often overlap, so sessions may address several themes at once.
Practical sessions begin by clarifying what a person wants to work on. From there she and the client decide whether talking, drawing, movement or metaphor will best help explore the issue. The style stays person-centred, meaning the client leads and suggestions are collaborative.
Sessions can focus on short-term practical coping strategies or on deeper, longer-term processing. Clients who prefer creative expression as part of therapy will find that element built into the work. English is the language used for sessions and international clients are accepted.

How creative, person-centred approaches work online
Laura combines person-centred counselling with creative methods. Person-centred counselling focuses on what the client brings and on their priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and suggests ways to explore issues without directing the content of sessions. Creative techniques such as mark-making or movement use non-verbal expression to access feelings that may be hard to name; they can be useful for grief, family conflict and processing change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which mix of talking and creative activity fits the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps adapt techniques to individual needs and comfort levels.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to continue work across locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or reduce the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt creative methods for remote work, for example by suggesting simple art activities, movement prompts or metaphor-based exercises that suit the session length and client circumstances.
