Curiosity
Taking time to understand, rather than deciding what your experience means too quickly.
LaurunaCounsellingGet in touchHarlow-based online counselling for adults and young people aged 11+
A place to be heard, without having to become someone else.
Counselling does not have to begin with the question, “What is wrong with me?” It can begin with being listened to—without having to justify how you feel, prove that your experiences matter or become someone else.
Curiosity over judgement.
Understanding over shame.
01 — Welcome
Perhaps you have spent a long time wondering if you are the problem.
People are often quick to offer advice, compare your struggle with somebody else’s or tell you how you should feel. When that happens repeatedly, it can leave you doubting yourself and wondering whether you are the problem.
At Lauruna Counselling, you will not need to convince me that something has been difficult. Your experience deserves to be taken seriously. We can begin by understanding what life feels like for you.
02 — About me
I’m Laura.
Before anything else, I am another human being sitting alongside you.
I am a counsellor in training, currently preparing to open Lauruna Counselling in Summer 2027. My way of working is calm, thoughtful and grounded in genuine curiosity about the person in front of me.
I know what it can feel like to question yourself because you do not quite fit the expectations placed upon you. I also know how quickly people can be reduced to a label, a behaviour or somebody else’s assumptions.
What matters to me is creating a relationship in which you feel listened to, taken seriously and increasingly able to be yourself.
03 — My approach
Understanding,
without trying to fix you.
I work in a humanistic and integrative way, but the most important part is simple: I will treat you as a person, not a problem to solve. Rather than looking for quick answers, I want us to understand what your experience means for you.
Understanding
Looking beneath what is visible and making sense of your responses without adding judgement or shame.
Your voice
Your life remains yours. I will not tell you who to be or make your choices for you.
04 — Counselling
Room for what is actually happening.
Adults
A private space to pause, make sense of what you are experiencing and explore what feels important—at your own pace.
Young people 11+
A respectful space where there is no expectation to communicate in one particular way or to have everything worked out.
