Laurie ButterfieldAccredited Counsellor · MNCPS (Acc.)
Counselling that feels
like a real conversation.
I’m Laurie. I’m warm, down to earth and collaborative. I won’t tell you what to do, but I also won’t expect you to fill every silence while I simply nod.
I’ll ask questions, share observations and help you look at things from different angles. Together, we can explore what may be keeping you stuck and find practical ways forward.
- Years of experience including working with the NHS
- Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice
- NCPS Accredited member, working to a professional code of ethics.
Getting started
Three easy steps.
- Book a free introduction call
- Decide without pressure
- Start where you are
Up to 15 minutes to tell me what you’re looking for, ask questions and see how talking together feels.
If we both feel I’m the right fit, we’ll agree an online appointment. There is no obligation to continue after the call.
You don’t need a perfect opening sentence or a neat list of goals. We begin with what is present now.
Simple, transparent fees
