Welcome

Clinical Supervisor | Counsellor/Psychotherapist | Life Coach | Trauma Therapist

I work human-to-human in a Neurodiverse and LGBTQI++ affirmative way and  specialize in various issues each has its own individual page (please take a look for more in-depth information). - Neurodiversity, Eating Disorders/Disordered Eating, LGBTQ++, Trauma Therapy including Sexual Assault, Rape, Historic Sexual Trauma/Abuse, and Childhood Trauma  - I also work as a Clinical Supervisor and Life Coach.

I offer you a calm, warm, and friendly space from where we can work through your concerns together. I will listen to you with kindness and empathy using an approach tailored to you. We will focus on changing what can be changed and learn to live and grow around those that cannot be. 

Are you struggling with feelings of fear, anxiety, not feeling good enough, or even feelings of imposter syndrome, trying to hide and/or Mask these feelings as you don't want to worry or burden your family and friends but need someone to listen to what is going on for you! You are not alone... 

Life can be complicated, complex, and often a baffling experience, especially now as many of us struggle to make sense of the uncertainty, changes, and fears triggered by life in general thoughts and feelings that have come from underlying issues we have been through in our childhood, youth &/or adulthood, making us question who we are.

I help you develop and nurture a deeper capacity for resilience and confidence that enables you to refocus by learning new strategies that you can face life's painful and difficult challenges, enabling you to have good mental health and well-being in all areas of life

'Being Kind To Yourself'' and taking the first step in gaining support just for you. To do this is not always easy! Making the decision to seek therapy can lead to a new way of living with more joy, clarity, and positivity.

Testimonies & Feedback

"Laura has been a constant and provided me and my team with advice and training on how we can best provide our service to give our patients the very best service and support that they deserve. We hope to continue this service for many more years to come."

Karl - Clincial Manager - Everbridge

"Laura is the best therapist I have ever worked with. I sought counselling with Anvil in one of the lowest moments of my life, and because of Laura at Poole Therapies, I now have more tools than ever before to take care of myself. She always goes the extra mile by sending helpful resources and showing learning aides. I have never met a therapist so well-versed in so many different techniques, methods, and areas– because of this extensive toolkit, Laura is able to personalize each client’s experience to how they learn. I understand myself better from working with Laura. She is continually positive, open, and honest and she celebrates neurodiversity. Laura has changed my life, since being back home in the US, I have had many mental health challenges and Laura is always on-hand to support my journey enabling me to regain my life and career."

Emma

"Hi Laura I know it's been a while, so I just wanted to update you on my life and shoot you another thank you for all the work you did with me last year. I am in a healthy relationship, with the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful man who treats me better than I thought possible and never makes me feel like I am asking for too much (because I don't have to ask, he just does). I truly feel like I don't need therapy anymore after letting go of things and people that were not serving me. I think of you often and the advice you gave me still drives how I exist in relationships. Thank you for all that you do. I hope everything is positive in your world!"

Claire

"I began my therapy journey with Laura at Poole Therapies through Anvil, the insurance company which covered me during my participation in a Fulbright scholarship. Laura’s support during the Fulbright scholarship proved invaluable, particularly given that I was moving abroad during COVID, living alone for the first time, and going through a depressive episode while managing my anxiety. After my insurance coverage with Anvil ended, I opted to continue working with Laura privately to support my mental health while I moved back to my home country. At one time, to save money, I attempted to work with a mental health provider who was covered by my insurance company; but I was simply unable to find someone who matched the incredible strategies, kindness, compassion, trust, experience, expertise, evidence-based practices, and flexibility as Laura. Laura has continued to support me not only with ongoing major life stressors and transitions (including a breakup, moving across the ocean, obtaining my master’s degree, finding a job, and living in three different homes within 12 months), but with discovering sobriety, questioning my sexual and gender identities, exploring religion and spirituality, coping with family estrangement, processing multiple traumas through EMDR therapy, and even utilizing life-coaching strategies to tackle my financial priorities. I would highly recommend Laura as a mental-health professional to others for any journey, transition, phase of life, or path of self-exploration."

Sage

"Group/Team Supervision: Laura gave us a confidential space to explore, evaluate and learn how each member of our clinical team was coping with the complexities working with International Patients. Each team member was given time to express their needs as well as what support they felt they needed. Laura also offered individual supervision to each team member to ensure everyone was getting the support they needed. This has been and continues to be a valuable service offered."

Charlotte

"As my time here in Estonia comes to an end I'm certainly not ready for the change, but ready to take the step. Thank you so much for all of your help over the past few months. You have been an invaluable part of navigating this year and I wish you the best."

Grant

"Laura did a wonderful job not only providing support but being a safe person to simply hear what I had to say. She really encouraged and empowered me throughout out sessions."

Anna

"Sorry, I’ve not been in touch for a while. 

Something rather odd has happened. I’m not sure exactly when or why but my mental health is probably the best it has been in about 15 years. I wake up every morning buzzing to get things done and am just really happy and confident all the time. It’s taking some real getting used to. I made some changes at work that took stress off me and it was like I was let out of prison so maybe that’s part of it.

I think having those regular sessions the last year really chipped away at a lot of smaller issues I’d never dealt with and gave me what I needed to make other changes. I’m sure I won’t feel THIS good forever but for the time being, I feel like I probably don’t have much to bring to you and if ok with you I’ll get in touch if things dip or if I need help and advice on things.

I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me the last few years. Coming from where I was to now, I never thought it could happen."
