Laura Bourne, BACP, NCPS

Laura Bourne is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines structured Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a broader, integrative approach to support lasting change. She holds professional credentials listed as BACP and NCPS, which indicate formal training and adherence to recognised standards in counselling practice. Trained initially in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - often called CBT - she has since broadened her skills with additional therapeutic models so that each plan can be tailored to the individual rather than relying on a single method.

Working with both young people and adults, Laura offers compassionate, non-judgmental support for a range of difficult and complex concerns. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and other life challenges, bringing professional insight alongside genuine empathy. Her style emphasises collaboration and practical steps that align with each person’s values and circumstances.

As a trauma-informed practitioner, Laura works with an awareness of how traumatic experiences can affect both body and mind, and she aims to create a steady, respectful pace for healing. Reaching out for help is recognised as a first step toward positive change, and Laura is committed to supporting people through that process with thoughtful, personalised care.
