About me

Laura Waters, MBACP, BSc

laurawaterscounselling@outlook.com

​

​

​

    I work with adults and young people aged 13+. My experience includes private practice, a college setting and a child and young people service within the NHS. I have worked with a variety of issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationships, disability, low self-esteem, low-confidence, identity exploration, school stress, parenting, loss, and bereavement to name some. We can work together to help you make sense of how you are feeling.

    ​

    ​

    I work mainly in a person-centred way, which means that I am led by you and your needs, and that our therapeutic relationship is key. I integrate other approaches when helpful. I offer sessions in Faversham on Mondays. From April 2025 I am offering sessions in Ashford Tuesday to Thursday. I also work online.

     

    I can provide you with a confidential space and an empathic listening ear, where you can be yourself and express how you feel without judgement. If you would like a free 20 minute conversation so that we can decide if we are the right fit please don't hesitate to contact me.

    Sessions:

    I am happy to work in either a short term or more open ended way.  I recommend that we initially commit to at least six sessions.  Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually weekly.  They can be in person or remote.

    ​

    Initial consultation:

    I offer a free 20 minute TEAMS or telephone consultation where I will introduce myself and ask you what has brought you to counselling and if you have any goals.  It will be an opportunity for you to ask me any questions.  I will send you a copy of my working agreement prior to our consultation.  My aim is to help you feel at ease and for you to decide if we are the right fit.

     

    ​Fees:

     My fee is £50 per session paid via BACS at least two working days before each session.

    ​

    How to contact me:

    Please contact me on my email address laurawaterscounselling@outlook.com or telephone me on 07442 648015, if you have any questions or if you would like to arrange a free telephone or TEAMS call.
