Laura Waters Counselling
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I work with both adults and young people aged 13 +.​
I am based in Kent and offer sessions in Faversham, Ashford or remotely.
About me
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.
