Our Approach

Laura's background and training enables her to provide a client centered approach to all of her sessions at Lilcott Farm.

Laura uses a therapeutic approach which relies on building a strong relationship with the client first. This then creates a feeling of trust and safety meaning we can tackle things the client may find more difficult by working together.

Laura also likes to spend time getting to know her clients interests, this information is vital in providing a session they are happy to engage with, and her clients will always leave feeling empowered and understood.
