About Laura
Laura Scotland is a creative psychotherapist who works from a person-centred perspective. She offers a space where the client decides what matters most and sessions are shaped around those priorities. Laura explains options for talking and for creative ways of processing, such as mark-making, movement and metaphor.
With three years of experience, Laura supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps those coping with grief, loss and big life changes.
Background and approach
She brings a calm, respectful manner and aims to respond with sensitivity and compassion. Sessions begin with a clear conversation about what the person wants to work on. Laura then tailors the approach to each person’s needs and preferences.
That might mean mostly talking, or blending talking with creative tasks. Her background in creative psychotherapy means she often suggests hands-on ways to express difficult feelings. Simple activities can be useful when words feel hard or when someone wants a different route into a problem.
Laura also has experience supporting people with family-related concerns, attachment issues and challenges at work. She has worked with people affected by trauma, body image worries, cancer-related issues and domestic violence, among other concerns. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
The emphasis is on meeting people where they are and helping them find practical ways to move forward.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and try different ways of working to see what fits. That means decisions are collaborative and guided by the person’s goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and for some creative exercises that can be shown on camera. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth option or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow for flexible, ongoing conversations and can suit people who prefer typing or need to fit therapy into a busy day.
