Laura Wilson

MUKCP Msc Dip Gestalt Psychotherapist

My experiences have taught me how our emotional responses to past events continue to impact our choices, relationships and health. I believe our symptoms often hold important messages. With the right support, they can guide powerful growth. I integrate a range of perspectives from psychotherapy to neuroscience to astrology and holistic models of health which strive for balance in all areas of life so that the body and mind can come back to their natural state of self-regulation, which is ultimately what I want for you.

I bring deep expertise and hard-won life experience to support you to work through unresolved past experiences for greater relief in the present. I have a great capacity for acknowledging difficulties whilst holding the possibility of a more positive place. This kind of support is for people feeling stuck, in moments of crisis, as well as those who are looking for more support. You don’t need to be feeling unwell or wrestling with a specific problem to come to therapy. I see therapy as a valuable tool for personal development.

Gestalt therapy uses your experience to guide the therapy. This process of self-discovery can support you to feel and be more authentically you. Our minds and bodies are connected, and I will support you to develop your ability to tune into your body to develop a greater understanding of what you need. I will support you to find more freedom, flexibility and spontaneity by experimenting with new ways of being and opening up a world of new possibilities.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your life, helping you understand your story and make meaningful change, so that you can embrace a life full of authentic connection and possibility – showing up fully for yourself and those you love.

As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I’ve completed 6 years of specialist training at the Metanoia Institute and am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy. As well as a Master’s degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy, I have a Post-Graduate Certificate in People and Organisation Development and a Master’s degree in Public Policy. I care deeply about the health and wellbeing of individuals, organisations and communities.

Experience

I’ve worked with clients in community counselling services since 2020, including Mind and one of the largest psychotherapy research clinics in Europe. I have experience working with clients: experiencing anxiety; dealing with change, navigating life shocks and unexpected crises; experiencing relationship challenges and conflict; unravelling stories from their childhood and family background; working through trauma and abuse; dealing with estrangement, losses and grief; and those feeling stuck and uncertain and who are wanting more support.

Many of my current and recent clients are women and young people with ADHD or ASD diagnoses and I’m interested in how societal structures have shaped what we perceive is “normal.” I believe that symptoms are adaptive responses and a consequence of a range of factors. I am curious in the complex underlying relational, environmental and biological processes that contribute to how we are as individuals, and trust that with the right support, we can each find our own inner compass to guide us towards healing, recovery and growth.
