Online Therapy Wherever You Are

Imagine the potential of your life if you could learn to enjoy being the best version of you.

 

Hi, I’m Lara – I’m so glad you found me.

I’m a psychologist and licensed cognitive hypnotherapist with a passion for helping people connect with their inner resources.

 

I work with online therapy clients to free them from fears and self-doubt and release them from emotional burdens.

 

From relationship breakdowns and relocations to everyday anxiety, stress management and limiting beliefs that hold you back, I’m here to teach you the tools to help you become the best version of yourself.

About Me

Online Therapy Services

I don’t believe in labels – there are no two cases exactly the same. That’s why, though I work across many areas and treat many different conditions, I prepare a tailored therapeutic plan for each client based on them as a person. Here are just some of the conditions I can help with.

My Therapy Style

Everything we know—our past, present, and future—is a story we tell ourselves. The power lies in how we choose to write it. And if we can rewrite our story, we can change our lives.

 

In online therapy with me I help flip the script, challenging the thoughts that no longer serve you and creating permanent change to positive, useful thoughts.

 

Tapping into your inner strengths and resources, we work together to create the best version of you.

 

Qualified in Psychology, Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Gottman-Style Couples Therapy, I draw on a range of disciplines to offer a personalised approach for each of my clients.

I’ve always struggled with anxiety, especially since moving abroad. Lara was amazing at talking me through my fears and giving me tools to enjoy expat life to its fullest. Being able to do therapy online also was super helpful. In fact, I even extended my stay for another year! Thank you Lara, working with you has been life changing!

Before working with Lara, I was feeling anxious about birth. However, by the end of our sessions, I felt not just more confident, but genuinely excited about what was ahead! Lara took the time to understand what felt right for me and shared practical, personalised tools that truly made a difference. What I’ve learned with Lara goes far beyond birth preparation – I now have tools I can use whenever I feel overwhelmed or anxious. I wholeheartedly recommend Lara to anyone who wants to feel more in control and discover how to access a mindset that supports them.

Lara is calm, kind caring and perceptive. Her approach is to help and support in your healing which is longer lasting rather than a short term ‘fix’. Lara will give you the tools to help you feel empowered and confident in you journey to healing.

Working with and spending time with Lara was a truly great experience. Not only does she bring a thorough understanding of her therapeutic approach, her kind presence and authenticity makes it feel easy to open up. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful, compassionate support in making positive changes.

Sharran

I’m very grateful to have found Lara. She is a great person to talk to, deeply empathetic and charming, and will help challenge and re-frame negative or unhelpful beliefs. I always very much appreciated her professionalism – consistently clear and communicative regarding scheduling, and checks in between sessions.
Would strongly recommend her, especially to people moving abroad, she really gets it!!
