About Laura
Laura Scotland is a creative psychotherapist who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. Laura offers a person-centred, creative way of working where the client leads what they want to explore in session.
She uses talking alongside creative options such as mark making, movement, and metaphors. Sessions can focus on getting to grips with grief, loss, motivation and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Laura also helps people who are navigating major life changes or coping after traumatic events. In the first meeting she asks about what matters most and what the person wants to achieve. From there she shapes sessions to fit each person’s needs, pace and preferences.
That might mean more talking some weeks and more creative activity in others. Her approach values respect, sensitivity and compassion. People are invited to bring whatever feels important and to try different ways of processing feelings.
The tone is practical and down-to-earth, so a worried parent reading on a phone can get a clear sense of the work. Laura has three years of clinical experience supporting concerns such as family problems, social anxiety and workplace stress. She accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and international clients, and conducts sessions in English.
How creative approaches translate to online therapy
Laura blends person-centred work with creative techniques, using talking alongside activities such as mark making, movement and metaphor. In an online session these creative exercises are adapted so a client can use what they have at home, describe their imagery, or work with movement on camera to process emotion. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, grief and adjusting to life changes.She also uses a straightforward person-centred method that puts the client's priorities first. That means sessions focus on whatever matters most to the client and can shift between talking and creative work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls let someone use visual and movement-based exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for people who prefer typing or want flexible, brief exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family or work routines.
