Laura Heslop Therapy
Compassionate counselling and therapy in Beverley
Therapy that
feels human.
I’m Laura, a relational psychotherapist and counsellor, and I offer counselling in Beverley, in person, online or by phone. Because no two people are the same, I shape how we work around you, drawing on whatever helps you feel most at ease.
Sometimes what we need most is simply to be heard. My work is built on listening: to your story, your worries and the parts of you that often go unnoticed. There’s no judgement here and no clinical distance. Just a warm, safe space where you can be fully yourself, at your pace.
When talking doesn't come easily
Here’s a worry I hear a lot: “What if I don’t know what to say?” or “I’ve never been any good at talking about feelings.”
That’s completely okay, and it doesn’t mean therapy isn’t for you. Talking is one way in, but it isn’t the only one. Some of us make far more sense of things when we can see them or sort them rather than explain them out loud.
So alongside talking, we can work in more creative, visual ways: choosing postcards to find words for a feeling, moving buttons around to make sense of the people in your life, mapping things on a simple timeline. It reaches somewhere deeper than talking alone, and there’s never any pressure to work in a way that doesn’t feel right for you.
Qualified, experienced, and here to
support you
You deserve to feel confident you’re in safe hands. I’m a relational psychotherapist and counsellor with integrative training, an accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and a member of the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). I hold a Level 7 Diploma in Integrative and Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, equivalent to a Master’s degree. You can also find me on Counselling Directory.
Real support, from a therapist in Beverley
I work with people facing all sorts of things: anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, neurodiversity (including ADHD and autism), relationship difficulties and more. Whatever’s going on, counselling gives you a safe space to explore what’s really underneath it.
Simple to
get started
In person in Beverley, or online and by phone wherever you are. Sessions are £60 for 50 minutes, and your first 15-minute phone call is free.
My story: How therapy changed my life
Starting therapy changed everything for me. It gave me room to understand myself, feel heard and begin to heal. Because I’ve sat in that chair too, I know how much it matters to have someone truly listen.
