Laura Allison Therapy

A safe and relational space for you to put down what you've been carrying alone

Hello, I'm Laura. I am an experienced and highly trained Therapist working in Nottinghamshire offering support to individuals who may be struggling with their emotional wellbeing and mental health, would like to make some changes or heal from past experiences. My role as a relational therapist is to offer a safe space for you to explore what you are holding internally and support you in moving towards the change you would like to see.

About me

Alongside my formal training, I bring experience from a range of settings including private practice, fostering services, education, and the voluntary sector. This work has given me an in-depth understanding of the impact of relational trauma, attachment disruption, and loss, and how these experiences are often held not only in the mind, but also in the body.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Postgraduate Diploma in Systemic Practice, a Certificate in Body Psychotherapy, and am currently working towards a Diploma in Clinical Supervision.

I work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, coming to me with a diverse range of problems.

As a fully-qualified counsellor I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and abide by their code of ethics.

How I work

I work in a relational, humanistic, and integrative way, placing the therapeutic relationship at the centre of our work together. I believe meaningful change happens when you feel understood, emotionally safe, and met at your own pace.

Working together

Together, we can explore what is happening for you in the present, how past experiences may still be shaping your inner world and relationships, and what you would like to move towards. I work collaboratively and with care, supporting you to make sense of your experiences in a way that feels manageable and grounded.

My approach

Alongside talking therapy, I hold an awareness of how stress and emotional experiences can be carried in the body. This allows us to work gently and holistically, particularly when words alone don’t feel enough. I offer a calm, reflective space and value depth, thoughtfulness, and collaboration, trusting that you are the expert in your own experience.
