Laura Solis

Welcome. I am an integrative psychotherapist and couples therapist. My approach to psychotherapy and counselling is integrative. I draw from a diverse range of psychotherapeutic approaches allowing my approach to embrace each individual’s particular lived experience and world view.

My integrative approach draws all parts of human experience together through the use of multiple frameworks of practice, including biopsychosocial, cultural, sexual and spiritual perspectives. Your lived experience is important to me. It is in your body and your mind, so your story holds both present value and future possibilities.

I have experienced assisting people facing various challenges and difficulties. I hold all parts of human experience flexibly, listening and understanding non-judgementally, knowing that we are never shaped by one thing in the complexities of our existence. This holistic viewpoint is supported by curiosity and creativity.

I work flexibly with a number of models of practice, including:

Client-Centred; Humanistic; Existential; Trauma-Informed; Developmental and Attachment; Narrative; Systemic; Emotionally-Focussed Therapy; Sensorimotor Psychotherapy; Gendlin’s Focussing; Mindfulness and Movement-based Approaches. Emotionally-Focussed Couples Therapy; Gottman’s Couples Therapy, Sex Therapy.

I can support you with existential concerns, grief and loss, life transitions, end of life, identity, self-esteem, personal development, life purpose, boundaries, self-care, stress and trauma, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic growth, religious trauma/ spiritual injury, post-cult recovery, relationship concerns/difficulties, couples therapy, intimacy and sex.

My work is collaborative, I will meet you where you are. I offer warm, empathetic and attuned presence, and prioritise creating a safe relational environment which encourages growth, meaning, and a secure sense of self. You may feel vulnerable at times, but you will be heard, seen, resourced and understood.

Psychotherapy can open the door for you to move towards greater wellbeing, deeper understanding of the landscape of your inner and outer life resulting in improved relationships and an enriched quality of existence.

I believe we all have the innate capacity to move towards growth, change and healing.

I welcome diversity including all cultural and religious backgrounds.
