Laura Waters Counselling
Welcome to my website. My name is Laura and I am a Faversham based qualified counsellor. I work with adults in my private practice on Mondays. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). ​
About me
I understand that life can feel overwhelming, and it can be difficult to make sense of how you are feeling. You may feel anxious, low, stressed, judged, or stuck. I can provide you with a confidential space and an emphatic listening ear, where you can be yourself and express how you feel without judgement. We can work together to help you work through the difficulties that you are facing.
I have worked with a range of people and scenarios, some examples being, anxiety, low mood, relationships, parenting, loss, and disability.

My approach to counselling:
I consider myself as a down to earth person. The core of my approach is person-centred, which means that I am led by you and I will help you to explore your worries, feelings and views to enable you to increase your self-awareness and achieve greater autonomy over your life.
​
I trained in an integrative way, which means that I am able to draw on other counselling approaches, to fit with you as an individual. I undertook some additional training, which means that I am able to work in a trauma informed way. Counselling doesn't always have to be talking and we can incorporate some more creative ways of working together, if that is what you want.

​
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 weekly. They will take place at Apotheca in Faversham. I am also able to offer online session via Microsoft TEAMS.
​
Fees:
I offer a free 20 minute TEAMS consultation which will give you the opportunity to ask me any questions, to let me know what you are looking for and to see if we feel the right fit. After this initial consultation my fee is £50 per sesion paid via BACS at least 48 hours in advance.
​
