Hello, I’m Laura Stonehouse, MBACP, I hold a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am a registered member of the BACP.My practice comes from a desire to offer the sort of support that I needed during all those ‘Who am I?’ ‘I’m not enough’ and ‘Why me?’ moments I have experienced. If you are asking yourself similar questions,  contact me for a free, no-obligation 20-minute session and you can decide if you'd like us to work together.I have a wealth of lived experience with chronic long-term health conditions, most notably MS. For me, life has changed unexpectedly many times.Whilst learning to live with these changes I benefitted from personal counselling, a space to just be me, with all my feelings valid, without having to worry about whether I am being a burden to my counsellor. It is because of this positive experience I decided to undertake further training in Counselling People with MS. I have a diploma in Counselling Young People and experience particularly in the 18-24 range. I also have a further special interest in helping women navigate the life changes during perimenopause and menopause. I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and I am fully insured.
