About Laura Clifford-Jones

“Helping you to achieve good mental health, growth and restoration”

Hi I’m Laura and like so many other people I too have had to deal with life’s up’s and down’s to a greater or lesser degree over years, sometimes the situations caused me to revert back to my now old copying strategies, such as General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), an Eating Disorder, Self-Sabotage and closing down by shutting my family and the world out.

After a close family bereavement I realised this was not the way in which I wanted to live my life from now on, so I took a ‘leap of faith’ (this was very hard at the beginning), moving out of my comfort zone and headlong into the Big Wild World of Personal Development and Therapy.

In 2012 I started my Counselling, Coaching and Mental Health training and became a qualified counsellor and coach in July 2016, since then I have continued my training to extend my knowledge, skills and expertise. I am also a qualified, mental health and leadership and management tutor/trainer and assessor
