About Laura
Laura Scotland is a qualified creative psychotherapist registered with the BACP with three years' experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, grief, family conflict, low self-esteem and difficulties coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Laura uses a person-centred creative approach. She invites clients to lead sessions and bring what feels most important. She offers ways to process problems through talking or through creative means such as mark making, movement and metaphors.
Her work covers practical day-to-day concerns as well as deeper patterns. She has helped people manage anxiety at work, face the aftermath of loss, and navigate relationship tensions within families. She also supports exploration around identity, body image and feelings of guilt and shame.
In early sessions she listens for what the client wants to address. From that point she suggests techniques that fit the person’s preferences and needs. That might be talking things through, trying a short creative exercise, or using imagery and movement to explore difficult feelings.
Laura aims to be respectful and sensitive in sessions. She explains the options and adapts the pace depending on how someone responds. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How creative approaches translate to online work
Laura uses a person-centred creative model and offers gentle, practical techniques that can be adapted to online sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following what the client brings, helping to identify what matters and what to work on next. Creative processing can include talking plus simple mark making, guided imagery or movement tasks that explore feelings without relying only on words. Those methods are chosen collaboratively. The therapist and client decide together which approaches feel most useful. That means trying small practical tasks first and adjusting approaches as the work develops. Confirm the exact session arrangements before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, home life and travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and make it possible to use simple creative materials during a session. Registered or accredited professionals can support clients through these methods and work with individual goals and preferences.Areas of expertise
