About Me

 

My name is Laura Buckingham. I am a qualified Counsellor working integratively 

with each client and using the approach which will best suit their needs. I have

worked for many years with a variety of clients with many different levels of need,

who come from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and ages. The most amazing

thing is that all of my clients, past and present, would like to achieve the same

thing and that is to feel better about themselves and become more able to cope

with what life brings.

 

I am here to help you to see things from a different perspective, walk alongside you

and help you to work through this difficult time. My aim is to support you and give

you the tools and coping strategies to be more equipped and able to handle your

emotions or situations confidently and with clarity.

 

I have recent experience working in both primary and secondary school settings, supporting children from age 5 through to 18 with their emotional and behavioural needs at these delicate (and sometimes confusing) stages in their lives.

 

Until recently, alongside my private practice, I worked one day per week in a Secondary School as a School Counsellor for five years. This is a job that I was passionate about, as I strongly believe that supporting students' mental health is essential if they are going to build resilience, feel happier, more confident and get the most out of their education. I will continue to support students of this age in my private work.
